I am 60 years old and have a serious sleep disorder. I need 3 to 4 ativan2 to get sleep. If I tried weaning by reducing to 2 and then 1 but suffered with real bad withdrawal the next afternoon. Terrible hand and leg trembling, stammering and anxiety. I want to quit but can not afford rehabilitation centre or costly medicines.
