[Le...] Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I feel terrible... Been on ativan for about 6 weeks. It is either making me sick, or I am at Tolerence withdrawal.? I take .5 mg at night 9:30PM ish, and sleep was ok, but as of Sunday it is terrible. Then 2 weeks ago began .25 in the afternoon 1pm ish to handle tremors(internal) As of Sunday last i was feeling better, but then Sunday night began to make a turn for the worse... Last 3 nights did not sleep well... Today, I took .125 at 7:40am hoping it would even me out and was going to take the other .125 at 4 or 5pm...? to see if this would help keep it in my system better... So, I need a plan... Also, I was put on this drug for insomnia and anxiety that took place in January...started approx feb 15th at .5 1x at night, because Temazapan was too strong. At this point, I need help. I either up my dose to feel better(I think???) if it is tolerance withdrawal. Or maybe this drug doesnt agree with me??? I have one medic telling me that this helps with these symptoms, and another telling me it gives these symptoms...? CONFUSED. Non the less, i have to either up dose or get off or both? Please help! I have been thinking about asking my doc for a cross over drug. Diazapam or Klonopin? is that a good idea? Does it make you feel any different? Cause I feel bad now...light headed, dizzy depressed sometimes, internal tremors, derealization, etc...mild headaches. I have looked at ashton manual...it looks good. I am confused, I don't know which route to go. Please help...I see doctor tomorrow, and feel terrible. I even thought about his recommendation of Remeron, or asking for trazadone to sleep for a while. I just dont really want to put more drugs in my body if i dont have to... Thanks in Advance!
