Were you weaned off or did you just stop cold turkey? I stopped Ativan (lorazepam, which is a benzodiazepine) cold turkey in high school, against my doctor's advice, and while that was the best thing for me to do at the time for my mental state, I experienced terrible withdrawal and in hindsight I should have been weaned off of it.
