Hey Mel. I have been dealing with anxiety for 7 years now. In and out of the hospital and had every test and scan known to man. I have thought I had cancer and every other diseases you can think of and in and out of the cardiologist and have worn heart monitors. Ativan is what worked for me. It is addictive but if you can control how much you have then I think you should be ok. I have heard if people having reactions to what the Dr prescribed you.
I completely understand where you are coming from, I've been having a while last few days. None stop panic ALL day and racing thoughts at night which keep me up. Let me tell you (if you don't already know) no sleep + anxiety = pure horror. It is absolutely horrible. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this, I pray that it gets better for you.
How much ativan do you take? I've been having horrible time sleeping the past 4 days.. I've only taken 0.5 a day though and it hasn't helped much.
I haven't been on it in over 5 years. I was taking .25 I took it for a year and my anxiety went away for a long time. But this year it cane bad due to my husband stressing me out!
Completely understand, having six attacks a day must be extremely frightening even having one is a nightmare. Id say start the medication and keep in contact with your gp of the affects it has as all meds are different for others. Your one step closer to the ultimate goal. You have the understanding that the thoughts are not rational also seeki g help from you gp and posting here all but tell me that you wont see ghosts. If you do though you know who to call. Sorry for the dry sense of humour but as i said you wont go crazy but do keep in contact with your gp. Hope this helps
