Hi Pat:
I am not a physician, but couldn't agree more with Dr. Fee. You are going through withdrawal from a very powerful drug. Stopping Ativan is to be taken very seriously and should never be done on your own without the help of a doctor.
Ativan is a benzodiazepine and you can read more about Benzo's in my SharePost; Benzodiazepines, Are They Safe? You can also read more detailed info about Ativan here.
Please call your doctor and don't try this alone,
Best of luck, and be careful.
