> Well, yes the klonopin withdrawal was bad, after taking it every day for a couple of years. I'm hoping the ativan is not as bad because it is shorter acting and will perhaps be gone from your body faster(?) Also I am only taking 1 mg at night, and not every night.

Vesper-According to Gorman's guide,

Short-acting benzodiazepines may produce more severe withdrawal symptoms than long-acting benzodiazepines, but the difference is small.

BTW the friend I mentioned in the post above was on 5mg a day which is considerably more than you are taking. O.
