Lots of experiences tapering off benzos. Take it slowly, because there can be rebound anxiety. My family doc had prescribed Ativan 2 mg * 3 daily, so when I started seeing my pdoc March 2015, he started the taper. It took 13 months of reducing a dose by .125 or .25, staying at that level 1 or more weeks, then another reduction. During the taper, sometimes my dose went up slightly for a bit.

Now Ativan is my prn medicine. I followed my pdoc's recommendations explicitly, because as a recovering alcoholic I don't want a benzo dependency. Also, the word recall problem I had last summer was probably benzo related. Don't want to lose my words either. Good luck.
