right my buddy this is what my doc used to do for me an how i got in trouble.before i took antidepressants. i had bouts of high anxiety to tame it he would give me 4mg day of ativan for one week .no more than one week if i came out the right side great, most of the time i did, but if i didnt i had to wing it he would give me no more.even after one week i would have side effects but i new i could battle them after just 1 week dose.this is were the bad sh*t comes after years of antidepressants my doc asked me to see a shrink to get a new angle on my illness. the hospital gave me ativan an and a new anty-d. he sent a letter to my doc of the meds i need. the anty -d didnt work an my next appointment at the hos was 10 weeks away . so inm in limbo no meds for10 weeks only the repeat for ativan from the hospital an the docs, i have a real big collection of ativan an no meds, i start to abuse them in desperation an get up to 8mg a day an drinking just to stay on the planet.you guessed i crashed my wife drove me to the hospital an the srink on duty took away all my ativan in one go went home an into anxiety attacks every hour till i could take no more an overdosed on the venlafaxine he also prescibed. in mental hospital a week.no ativan an lying in the shower 8 hours aday detoxing bluffed my way out. collasped an my doc put me back on 4 mg ativan took weeks to level of but now i can go no lower.till my boby lets me.sorry for the novel but you never want to go thought that .manic666
