Ativan (Lorazepam); I was on it for a couple of years and a doctor took me off abruptly ie. circumstances. It was the most terrible, terrible, withdrawal reaction. I went thru a week of nervous jerks, all the time, for about a week. I was miserable. After that I never wanted to risk withdrawing like that again.
Make sure you taper when getting off. My ancient oracles advised me never to take it again. Make sure that the prescribing doctor is trustworthy. A good pill for calming nerves. . .don't take more than absolutely necessary. There are several other minor tranquilizers that might not have a similar traumatic withdrawal.
What are your symptoms; could another class of drugs be as beneficial ie. for sleep like Pamelor etc or a major tranquilizer in the psychotropic category like Mellaril or haldo or seroquel etc. I dislike becoming too addicted to anything with the bad withdrawals.
Be careful and God bless. Myra
