I see my mental health provider at the VA Thursday and will ask him about the Ativan. How as a recovering drug addict. BTW I have no idea how I use to do that. Looking back now I was a zombie when abusing benzodiazepines.It worked amazingly well for me but I didn't realise it at the time if that makes sense?
I was looking for the panic relief and then the nice buzz. When the nice buzz stopped, I thought it had stopped working so sold all my Loraz (prescribed) and bought xanax as it was hailed by all Google searches as the best. I'd say that's the day I tipped over the edge with bennies.
I wouldn't go switching too quickly from your xans though. Do it in stages if you are serious about it. I found Clonaz was good for me but cutting xans completely instead of a smooth, short taper was pretty miserable and they are supposedly like for like strength wise.
Xans are double the potency of.Loraz so please make sure you take that into consideration and get prescribed accordingly.
Half life of Loraz is pretty decent so after a while you may experience less of those horrible panic attacks.
i know what works for my body and unfortunately a lot of those meds I use to abuse. How do I tell the doc what works without looking like a drug addict seeking drugs to get high? Cause I'm legitimately in need of a few things and would like to have prescription in to name earned than going an alternative route.
