I started at 6 mg and slowly tappered off over 2 years. I got all the way down to 1mg and then ask the pdoc to raise it up to 2mg and she said no and I got pissed and told her she give medicine to people to make them disabled. That got me a sheriff escort away for a little while. Then "they" wouldnt give ativan to me anymore, I had ambien for awhile and thats it. Im telling you though I was highly, highly addicted to ativan.

Yeah, I take Ativan.
If you are having these kind of symptoms, you should continue taking the Ativan until you are ready to wean yourself off of it. Ativan withdrawal is "pure misery!!", and one should not have to go through that. You've got to gradually decrease your doses of Ativan until you feel ready to stop using it.

Alprazolam is interior the comparable type as Ativan. The withdrawals I had did not contain fever, yet I had twitchy muscle tissues and tremor, stress and a touch nausea. The fever is probable from the an infection on your toe and you probable could desire to have yet another blood attempt to work out if the antibiotic is working for you. each and every each and every now and then while one antibiotic would not artwork, they'll placed you on a distinctive one. sturdy success and that i'm hoping you sense greater clever quickly.

ativan withdrawl can be pretty bad. but what is up with the person suggesting clonsepan. I saw three people nearly go crazy on one pill of that in a rehab center. if you are not happy with your doctor get a new one.
