Wow,

What a bummer you were on quite a low dose and should not have experienced that difficult of a time coming off such a low dose, this is about the same as coming off .5mg of xanax and that is what I titrate down to when I quit......but everyone is different. Technically the drug is long gone from your system but if you continue to stay dizzy and such maybe go see your doc it could be unrelated to the med withdrawal. Typically benzo withdrawal symptoms at worse last 1 month per every year you are on them and that is like the worst case scenario. You were oly on ativan for 2 weeks so a couple of days outta be it but maybe you react badly to benzos....sorry I could not be more help but your situation is very atypical.

Good luck

Gil
