I am trying to quit taking dexedrine and lorazepam and want to do it with the current medication I have and not get any more refills. I have 21 more dexedrine left and I only take 10 mg and I have 62 lorazepam and take 3 pills at night to help me sleep.

I was thinking that I would take the dexedrine every other day for 10 days and then throw the rest out and the lorazepam taper down to 2 pills for 5 days then 1 pill for 5days and then throw the rest out.

As far as quitting caffeine, I am going to drink sprite and diet sprite and see what happens.

My doctor put me on a drug called lamactil and I don't want to take 3 different drugs that affect my moods.

Please let me know if anyone here quit dexedrine and/or lorazepam and if there were any side affects.

Thanks!
