Stupor and inability to talk because of Ativan?

after abruptly quitting Ativan I experienced stupor, inability to move and inability to talk. I dont know if it’s an early sign of catatonia or due to Ativan.

Yikes! Ativan isn’t something that should be abruptly stopped. It can cause terrible problems if it is

I should stop it gradually?

Yes, cut down a half a milligram every few days. That’s how I got off of it

It must have been a very high dose or it was mixed in with something else.
