Ativan Is the devil

Almost a year since last dose and it’s hell. Been a hard road keep thinking I am getting better then slammed by a wave. 😭

You're right about ativan from what I've read, I'm in the same boat, 22 months off a low dose /short duration V and still getting slammed. Yesterday i felt almost normal then today I'm practically bedridden with relentless and brutal adrenaline surges. No words to describe these evil drugs.

Agreed. Still in acute after short term Ativan. It's been 7 months

I remember reading somewhere on this forum that Ativan is "special." I get the impression that it is incredibly, incredibly addictive and produces pretty bad withdrawal.

 

I'm a low-dose, short-term user of Ativan myself, and looking back, I believe that my body became physically dependent on it within the first 2 weeks. It truly is from the devil!

Restoration- same!! My brain and body got addicted within the first week. I was having interdose withdrawals actually even before I started taking it dAily.

Same here!  I had the first interdose withdrawal on day 3.  Took Ativan only about 9-10 weeks, low dose.  Was way better 8 months ago than I am now.  I'm at 13, almost 14 months since my last dose.  I was feeling like I was finally going to heal about 7 weeks ago, felt pretty good for 4 weeks, then was hit with yet another massive wave 3 weeks ago.  In many ways this wave feels worse than any ever.  Yes, Ativan is the devil drug.  I personally believe it's the worst of the benzos, but what do I know it's the only one I ever took?  Today I had that terrorizing and hopeless feeling that this will never end.  This is the scariest experience, when does it end??

Ativan is the fastest acting benzo.  The benzo with horns like razors.

 

Ugh.  What a beast!
