i had totally no idea that i was numbing out until i decided to stop taking ativan regularly. once i stopped i was shocked at the difference. i had reached a point where i was actually feeling really good, but i wasn't accomplishing much in therapy. then i went off the ativan and began to not feel so good, but i was accomplishing boatloads in therapy. so, now i've switched to xanax which i like better and i only use it when i need to use it. i feel cruddy (ie: therapy's tough) but i'm healing. before i felt much better but really was postponing the inevitable work that i needed to do. i will say, that when you reach times when you need a break i think "going numb" is actually a good thing to do so you can catch your breath. anyway, been there. :-) ~terra
