> 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.I'm debating whether to say anything more to you about the benzos and the withdrawal(s),because I don't want to upset you;however,I know that Ativan withdrawal is a nightmare and can be protracted so please think about taking this benzo since you did have the syndrome coming off of the Klonopin.
