I hate this drug and I'm depressed thinking about the way I used to be and the things I was once able to do. I wish I knew about this beforehand.

They administered ATIVAN on top of narcotics to me to keep me numb. I never asked for them to treat me with ATIVAN and didn't even know what is was until I was released home from the hospital and had been on the prescription for 30 days. I tried to cold turkey the ATIVAN and what did I do that for I had had my first panic attack. I was at work and it felt as if death was coming upon me and I couldn't stop it. I was pacing the floor and told people to please call 911 I was dying. The ambulance came and said I was having a panic attack. I was crying and didn't understand a damn thing at that point. They administered at the ER this damn ATIVAN again and it dawned on me to start my investigation on this actual drug and to start being mindful at the aftermath effects it had on me. ATIVAN is a quick fix when you are in a state of uncontrolled anxiety or a panic attack but beware because it amplifies your condition when you try to get off of it. I had weened myself off of it and gone through and still going through the motions of being off ATIVAN. I had major withdrawal symptoms like head aches, muscle spasms, dizziness, feeling of doom randomly, disoriented at times, unable to concentrate at times, nervousness, upset stomach, chest pains, and the ultimate heart palpitations unbearably. I have been off for 5 months and still don't feel all the way like my old self. I even have to go to the dermatologist becaus | This is not a drug that should be given for more than a couple of days. The body should not be subject to it's negative feelings of heart attack and doom taking over. I mean it. | F | 2 days 10 | 1/6/2016 |
