I've been taking ativan for about a month now. I have only been on .5mg a day and sometimes only .25mg. Can I still get withdrawal symptoms from taking such a low dose? I want to go off because lately it doesn't seem to be working anymore or makes my anxiety worse. Today I haven't taken any and feel shaky and out of sorts. My therapist suggested that I just go up in dosage, but I don't want to be on this long term and feel my body is already becoming immune to it. Anyone have experience with this?

i am currently in the exact same situation its been almost a month take the same amount but sometimes i feel like it isn't working also. i also take prozac or have been for a month now also. my dr told me to just keep taking it until the prozac kicks in and not to worry about addiction or wothdrawl since its a low dose. But i rather get info from someone who has taken it. I hope the prozac works so i can stop the ativan . So i also want to know if there is withdrawl from such a low doseof ativan?? and how lonbg does 20 mg prozac take to work ?? i did take valuim a few years ago for like 2 or 3 months and coming off of that was pretty easy i wold get a little nasuea but thats it and i stopped taking it
