Am I an Ativan addict?

I am a 24 year old female, 5′ 8″, 135 lbs, in great physical health. I was prescribed 90 1 mg Ativan tablets for severe anxiety to last 30 days.

I went through the whole prescription in 12 days! I only drink about six times a year! I’ve never even smoked cigarettes! I have just had such horrible anxiety recently that I really was having problems. Now I’m really screwed. I’ve gotten horrible “rebound” anxiety so bad I wasn’t able to work today. I’ve started sweating really bad.

How long will this last? I had my last dose about 28 hours ago. I feel like shit.

Dear Cathy From..

you should see any MD for help ASAP.

Love,
Mount Tina

stress anxiety sport
what is a medication I can take for anxiety?

I have a lot of anxiety- my husband died in a car accident when I was 23 yrs old & my daughter was 2- since I have been alone, I raise her myself, pay all the bills, am putting her through private school, she’s in dance & sports, I have to get enough work in to support us but still be able to be everywhere my daughter needs me… cook, take care of the house, homework, I am just so stressed that I have insomnia & feel like I am just going to lose it especially now that she is getting older & somewhat defiant. I am very healthy- I workout, try to take time out when (if) I can, go to yoga & meditation classes to try to deal & it just doesnt work I still feel like I’m always on the edge & really sometimes feel like I could just beat the hell out of my child when she is snotty or defiant. WHAT can I take to take the edge off???

I am a GAD sufferer and a health care worker.. I need to be on medication because this causes me physical pain and physical problems.. and you need to go to your family physician and tell him or her that you suffer from anxiety.. and ”the loss of husband definitely can have lasting effect” and maybe group therapy is better for you to deal with your anxiety.. so go to your doctor.. (I did just go to my GP and he diagnosed that my problems come from GAD and because my muscles go into spasm I was sent to a psychiatrist and sometimes you only need to go there once to get assessed what is best for you.. medication …do you really need it, because I know that meds help but they don’t get rid of the core problem and they make you phsically and mentally addicted to the medication and if you take anti anxiety drugs for a long time you develop a tolerance.. meaning.. you need more after a while.. to get the same effect.. as I do now.. I was put on Clonazepam or also known as Rivotril or as Klonopin.. 2 mgs twice a day..and it worked wonders for me.. I had no more muscle contractions and it helped me a lot but this is a Benzodiazepine…and I have been on This medication since October 2002 and it worked well for a long time.. now it doesn’t give me full help any longer I developed that tolerance so the doctor put me also on Effexor 75 mgs…so that I won’t ever go above taking more than 2 x 2 mgs of Clonazepam… and I try yoga.. and in your case you know the reason for your anxiety.. it’s all bottled up in the loss of your husband and child and you are still struggling with that.. and I don’t know what causes my problem so I need the medication.. but in your case.. go see the GP and tell him or her about your anxiety and the doctor will get you in touch with a psychiatrist.. (that’s the norm) and the psychiatrist will assess you and decide if maybe group therapy may not be a better way or group sessions .. or grief councelling may not be better and then to help yourself..yoga helps and you need to keep them in your heart.., your husband and child and I understand how terrible this is for you .. I can imagine.. I don’t know but I can imagine that’s it’s horrible.. but join a hobby club or a sports club and socialize again.. and make friends, even female friends in a hobby club.. because your husband would not want you to suffer because he isat peace and in a different place with no pain… Hewould want you to get a zest for life back and also make friends…and the stress with your daughter also increases your anxiety and makes you feel more lonely as a single parent..and I believe she is not really acting abnormal.. I don’t know how old she is, but she should also join a club.. make friends.. and she will be less defiant.. if she is already a teenager, that can also make her rebel… that is normal.. but you need to talk to your doctor and i believe really for you group therapy or something along those lines will be more helpful than medication.. because then you get stuck with them as I do.. but my case is different.. I suffer severe chronic pain from my anxiety.. so I need the medication and I have no idea what caused the anxiety and I don’t feel anxious but I had excessive medical check ups and for that reason I have to believe it’s all caused by GAD..
