  1. I've been taking .5mg once a day for years. Now, because of upcoming major abdominal surgery, I
    figure it's a good time to quit. I took it at bedtime to help me sleep, which it did. For the last
    four days I've cut the pill in half, which I figure to do for 7-10 days and then cut the half into
    quarters for about another week. This isn't easy stuff to quit, I'm finding out. I'd appreciate any
    info. that you may have.

    I have been taking ATIVA, which is what I was told a sub-branch of APRAZOLAM, for sleep due to my
    tinnitus but it is not easy to quit. What I do is increase the amount of herb capsules(used to calm
    down the nerve) I use in conjunction with ATIVA, and trim ATIVA _very gradually_. I think cutting
    1/2 right away is too ambitious. You might trim it a bit by a bit over a long period of time.

    It was the choice between the lesser of the two devils and at this time I wonder if I have chosen
    the smaller one.

    Kindly tell me your secret of cutting it down. Currently i am on .5mg of ATIVAN. The way I do it is
    use substitute while trimming it down. How about yours?

    Don't believe the scare stories, I have never taken it but i'm postive ativan can be quit pretty
    easily over 4-6 months using a tapering schedule online, or one designed yourself.

  8. I have been on Alprazolam for 10 years for panic disorder and anxiety. I am still on the same dosage that I was ten years ago and I am definitely sure that drug companies differ in their drug production. Whenever I pick up a prescription and the pharmacy tells me it's &quot;just a different company&quot;, the red flag goes up. The oval shaped 1 mg. tablet just does not work as well at the round 1 mg. tablet.
