Ativan withdrawal symptoms can last anywhere from several days to several weeks or even months, depending on the individual and the severity of the addiction. In general, the acute withdrawal phase typically lasts around 7-10 days, during which time symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, irritability, sweating, and tremors may occur. However, some individuals may experience post-acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS), which can include depression, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating, for several months after quitting Ativan. It’s important to seek medical supervision during Ativan withdrawal to ensure safe and effective detoxification.
