How Long Do Withdrawal Side Effects Of Lorazepam Persist?

hello I had been taking Lorazapam for a long time. My doctor wean me off by using 1/2 for one week. The second week 1/4 I started in April and has not had another pill since. She put me on Lexapro to help. I feel much better . I have so much more clarity in my thinking and feel better. I do have some anxiousness and can sleep sometime. My questions n is when will all the withdrawal symptoms leave? Thank you

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
The disappearance of withdrawal symptoms depends on the duration & dose of the drug taken for( 15 days to 1 month after stopping the medicine ).
Weaning off gradually makes it more smooth. In addition you have been given Lexapro to manage the anxiousness. I feel you had sufficient time after the withdrawal & the symptoms had already been passed .
Now you need positive attitude towards life/ healthy lifestyle, can use Yoganidra audio cassette as a help to have natural sleep, to get the out of your system & free from your remaining complaints.
Thanks
