Hi, guys.
I made a mistake and I'm very scared. I've been taking lorazepam for five weeks. Not exactly taking, more like abusing because I was taking larger dose. My prescription was for 1mg twice A day and that's where I started, but stupid me, I took the power of the medication for granted and within a week was up to 2mg twice per day.
I really feel that I must stop, but that's terrifying me. How can I cope with withdrawal? Should I consult with my doctor and what to tell him? Is there any sort of punishment for abusing?
Please help me, I'm desperate.

Hello, Tom.
You abused drug. So what? You only made slight damage to yourself. No one will judge you. Now, it is the most important to taper off of lorazepam.
To do so, you must consult with your doctor, of course. He/she will tell you the right plan for withdrawal. It can last for, roughly, month or so. Maybe it will be somewhat hard for you because you tampered with dosage, but that's the info only skilled person can give.
Just be patient and go slowly. Also, have faith in yourself.
I wish you luck.
