Anti Anxiety Pharmacology: Benzodiazepines and Barbiturates
I was in the E.R. for my usual anxiety waiting to be sent to a Mental health treatment facility. I lay there for seven hours. I tired but I could not sleep. It's like the voices around me were getting louder and louder. I eventually exploded. It took three security people and nurse stuck me in my thigh from a distance with Ativan, it was great. The Anxiety demons went away and I felt normal. I was later prescribed Ativan. I've tried many medicines in my twenty seven year battle with Depression and Social anxiety and anxiety and O.C.D. and P.D.S.D. Nothing works like Ativan.
I acquired a virus which affected my entire system. Was feeling nauseous most of the day, lost a lot of weight, and became very anxious. Took a low dose ativan 2x/day for a month and got back on track emotionally and physically. Followed the dr's plan and decreased grandually with very little adverse effects. Whatecer you do, consult with your doctor before you adjust any doses, and follow advice to the letter. I am so grateful to be back to myself and I would not hesitate to go back to ativan again if I needed to.
