Can taking Ativan 2mg daily for one month cause dependency, and should I gradually reduce my doses of Ativan, Amitone Plus, and Zolpigress week by week rather than taking them for the full month?

Yes, taking Ativan (lorazepam) 2mg daily for a month can lead to dependency. For Ativan, Amitone Plus, and Zolpigress (zolpidem), gradually tapering your doses week by week is indeed the safest approach to avoid withdrawal, rather than stopping abruptly. However, because these medications affect your brain chemistry, it is very important that you do not change your doses on your own. Please consult your doctor, who can safely guide you through a personalized, step-by-step tapering plan to keep you feeling comfortable.
