This drug has saved my life, I take 1 mg twice daily, I have severe anxiety and panic disorder that leads me to never leaving the house bc I'm scared of everything. This drug dug me out of a deep anxiety phase that was leading to very serious depression I was scared to tell my doctor that I was gonna kill myself if they didn't find something that worked I tried about 14 other meds with little to no success. Before my doctor said I'm gonna try you on ativan and see how it helps with my drug history this was a last choice kind of thing. He warned me about the potential for abuse and addiction, I'm aware of it and I never abuse the drug. I've been using ativan for 2-3 months now and I'm finally back into the work force finally able to drive again
First of all, I noticed that no matter what, when you comment on this, it starts with the anxiety section, so I said it was anxiety. This drug is a nightmare yet a wonder drug at the same time. I started taking it because I have multiple sclerosis and had muscle spasms. That was 6 years ago. I NEVER had anxiety before then. It worked for the muscle spasms when nothing else would. I tried neurontin (hallucinated), as well as all the muscle relaxants which just didn't touch it. I knew this was a scary drug because my mother was a counselor and the doctor switched her from ativan (lorazepam) to ambien. She began going through severe withdrawals. She hallucinated, shook and had seizures. They thought she was psychotic (she was and I tried to tell them why but they wouldn't listen), they put her on the psychiatric ward and gave her haldol. Then she began to twitch and couldn't walk, half her face hung down (tardive dyskinesia). They were ready to put her in a mental institution. I begged them to listen to me, and even tried to sneak in ativan but I got caught. She almost died before they gave her ativan. Then she was back to normal. It was truly a nightmare. She had to move her practice to a different town. She was so humiliated. So, when I started taking it 6 years ago for my back, I was really careful. Since then, and now I only take .5 to 1 mg at bedtime. I went on a trip and forgot it. I thought I would be fine. By day 2 it was me this time. I couldn't think, I was having horrible anxiety, and was scared out of my mind. I drank a beer (I heard that helps a little), and it did some, but not enough. Finally I got the ativan and I got better. Turns out, it doesn't matter how little you take, it's how long you take it. Yes, it works wonders, but make sure you never run out, and if you start to have anxiety before your next dose, remember, it CAUSES anxiety too. Just be very careful. Dont take too much and let yourself run out. Itcanbefatal
