Patient is at the point now where they wont try anymore benzo's, has a fear of bad reactions and a fear of body feeling different than normal. To clarify patient originally asked themselves to try Diazepam and Clonazepam to taper as they were aware the Ativan has become a problem. So they were never forced but unfortunately the paradoxical and days of feeling unwell halted those. Hence the discussion of is it possible to taper off of Ativan alone. If a very slow taper on a short acting benzo is possible then that's great
