I was diagnosed for Anxiety disorder in 2007 and with cipralex till 2012. From 2013, I am not taking any medicine for anything. Now 2 months back I faced sleep problem and anxiety disorder. Now again I am prescribed for cipralex 5 mg & lorazepam 0.5 mg from 2 months. Now I want to get rid of lorazepam earliest possible. Please advice me how to taper and detoxification if any.

Taper is every 3 days to half the dose. And stop taking it within 15 days. Simultaneously, start doing rigorous physical exercise on a daily basis. Your muscles will ache. And they should ache. More the pain, better it is for you.
