Hello ,
I've been taking Ativan for about 10 months ! At first I was taking it as needed for my panick attacks. Then I realized I needed it more often do to my axiety !
So now ruffly 10 months later I'm taking 1mg three times a day.
I want to get off of it because my doctor is concerned that I am addicted to it !
I believe that as well, but I feel sick whenever I try to minimize the dose.
I have really dreadful withdraw symptoms.
Which causes me to have worst axiety ,
which then leads to me raising the dose up again.
This has been a on going process for me since I've been on medicine since I was 12 for the same reason.
I've currently stop taking my anti-depression medicine and I feel completely off balance.
I've been told I'm bipolar but I refuse to believe it like anyone else would.
I guess what I really want to know is . . . What's the easiest way to avoid withdraw like symptoms, while lowering my Ativan?
