| 5 | ptsd anxiety deppresion | A bit of a chemically feeling | I started taking ativan 3 months ago and it gave me energy i havnt had in a long time and confidence wich i deffianatly didnt have before taking this i take 2 2.5mg a day. I still need a couple of valium before bed. I dont understand why my pharmasist said ativan is the worst medication and hes seen people really fuck up on them. Iam an x addict for pills believe it or not but over the last 3 years have taken them properly. I can feel a kind of chemical feeling and sometimes i feel scetchy like ive been up for two nights. but it gets me through the days quiet well. But ive heard that they are very addictive i hope i can come off them wIth no withdrawals | F | 1 days 2.5mg | 1/20/2015 | 4 | Panic attack | I felt kind of spacey and loopy at first when the nurse put the Ativan into my IV but there were no significant adverse effects. It got rid of my intense anxiety so i could breathe. | Ativan and other medicines like it can have a potential to make you addicted so don't take more than your doctor tells you to. | F | 18 | 1 days 1 mg IV | 11/24/2016 | 3 | Anxiety | Just makes me very sleepy and very light headed | Despite the side affects it has made me calm | F | 24 | 1 days 1mg 2X day | 5/24/2012 | 2 | BPD | Was advised to take this to calm me down during my extreme periods of impulsivity when required (also taking seroquel 300 mg and 150 mg daily). It didn't really have any calming effects for me, and made me vomit severely. I guess different things work for different people. | F | 25 | 1 days 2mg | 12/11/2011 | 2 | MRI | didnt relax me so i didnt get the MRI done | F | 50 | 1 days 0,5mg 2X O | 1/8/2013 | 2 | Anxiety symptoms dizzy walking | After taking 1 mg for the first time, anxious feelings dissipated but became more disoriented and off-balanced which is what I wanted to cure. | M | 35 | 1 days | 2/18/2005 | 2 | Anxiety can't rest in the hospital | N/A | N/A | F | 32 | 1 days | 2/7/2017 | 2 | 1 days | 10/1/2016 | 2 | Recreational | Slept, next two days couldn't keep food down, vomited, extreme anxiety. It's been two weeks and I still feel headaches constantly, some brain fog. | Do not recommend, even one dose can be harmful. | M | 21 | 1 days 7.5 MG 1X day | 7/7/2015 | 2 | anxiety | none-- however, the drug did NOT help with my anxiety AT ALL. It would be as if I had taken nothing at all; I know this is likely due to the fact that I'm accustomed to alprazolam (xanax) for anxiety, however, which is a more potent drug and has always worked wonders for my severe anxiety. For people with more moderate anxiety, ativan is likely a good/better choice as it is milder than other popular benzodiazepines with less noticeable side effects, generally. Simply not for me. | F | 23 | 1 days 1mg | 5/18/2014 | 1 | anxiety | Ugly side effects withdrawing. | F | 36 | 1 days .5 | 12/3/2013 | 1 | anxiety over medical procedure | nausea; dizziness; drugged, woozy feeling (lasted about 5 hours) | only took it one day. Would not take it again. | F | 43 | 1 days 0.5 1X day | 12/15/2013 | 1 | anxiety, panic attacks, nausea | This medication made me feel very dizzy, caused stomach upset, and all around unbalanced. This pill actually made me feel worse than better. It did nothing to make my body feel less nervous and anxious at all. | I do not recommend using this pill to treat anxiety at all. The only thing it will do is make you feel worse due to the bad side effects it has. | F | 1 days 2mg 2X day | 10/31/2013 | 1 | Some dangerous doctor knew how dang | Horrible anxiety, impulse control horrible , withdrawls lasting 2 years lost my job this is a very dangerous neuro toxin. It causes brain damage. | M | 50 | 1 days O.5 | 5/15/2013 | 1 | MRI sedation | Vomiting dizzy loss of motor skills | Took the pill 1 hr before MRI threw up before I went in the tube of doom and 20 mins in I needed to stop and throw up again. When the MRI was complete I needed to sit with a cold cloth and kidney pan. Made it home to my couch continued to throw up then slept. It has been over 24 hrs since I took the 1 mg dose and I am still dizzy and light headed. I will never take this med again I would rather fight through the panic and anxiety during the MRI then ever feel like this again. | F | 45 | 1 days 1 mg | 2/13/2016 | 1 | Anxiety | This stuff provided me with no major positive effectts at all. plus, the side effects were so bad, till one day of use was all that I could possibly stand. I got all day nausea from it, it had me feeling very fatigued and weak. It also gave me indigestion, everytime I took it,it made me feel dizzy and off balance, I experienced loss of appetite, and just feeling like total crap. In no way, shape, or form does this pill act as potent as Xanax does. If you have anxiety, the best pill for that, I don't care what nobody else says is Xanax. | Total waste of time trying this stuff. | F | 1 days 1mg 2X day | 9/19/2019 | 1 | Anxiety | I felt drunk and had hallucinations. I was so exhausted I could hardly stand up. I was getting ready to leave the house, and I could see people walking past the door of my bedroom. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not crazy - I knew they weren't there! But I could still see them! | I won't take it again - I switched to Xanax and it works great for me with no side effects. | F | 30 | 1 days | 6/27/2007 | 1 | Stressed | Hullucinatons panic sayimg unusual things unable le to make a sound desicion , | M | 52 | 1 days 2 | 6/20/2012 | 1 | uncle given it in er room | He died and had lung cancer,they gave to him because he was copding. | husband was also given iv for it it in er for breathing problems and went incoherent and sent on a breathing machine,this drug kills people luckily husband was ok.uncle wasnt i notice er with both of them wanted to know if they need a breathing machine would it be ok to hook them to one,now i think to myself,wtf they know its bad but 1 nurse told me its all the got in er room for lung situations thats bull in my opinion. | M | 69 | 1 days iv 1X day | 11/3/2011 | 1 | Dementia Anxiety | Halluciations, aggresive, | NEVER give this to a dementia patient that is on other dementia and anxiety medication. Father is currently taking Excelon and Seroquel. Hospital did not read med chart and did not continue with those two meds. Instead the P.A. ordered the Ativan and my dad became a completely different person. He saw green bottles on the ceiling, a little child that wasn't there and became aggresive with family members and nursing staff. If the medical staff had done their job and continued his regular daily medications, they never would have needed to give him Ativan. His charts now state to never give him this drug again and I intend to have a Med-Alert bracelet stating this as well. His Seroquel should have taken care of any anxiety he might have been feeling...stupid move by med staff. | M | 83 | 1 days 1X day | 1/24/2011 |
