| 5 | For nervousness | None. | Dosage was 2 pills, taken prior to a procedure. Greatly decreased nervousness and enabled sleep after procedure. | F | 34 | 1 days | 9/28/2004 | 3 | Other Meds Side Effects | When I havent taken it I feel anxious and Jittery | F | 28 | 6 months | 9/21/2004 | 5 | anxiety/panic attacks | None that I can think of. | This drug is AMAZING!! It has literally saved my life. It cuts right through anxiety and panic attacks. You can even let them dissolve under your tongue for quicker absorbtion. They are great when you need just a pinch of a tranquilizer to get you through the day. | M | 28 | 4 months | 9/16/2004 | 5 | percocet withdrawal | None | After a C-section, Percocet screwed me up. I stopped taking it and stopped sleeping. New mother, breastfeeding, no sleep (4 days), high anxiety. I actually thought I was dying. I took just half a pill of Ativan and slept for four hours and felt amazing when I woke up! I didn't take any more but that's all it took for me to start sleeping again. | F | 28 | 1 times | 9/10/2004 | 5 | shakes, benzohead, breathlessness, jerks. | I have on 3-4 mg of ativan per day for 2 years. I am not bashing the med. I worked really well in relieving the anxeity/panic disorder. I tried stopping this medicine recentely and had horrible withdrawl symptoms. I am now trying to taper real slow off of this stuff. | M | 44 | 2 years | 9/5/2004 | 3 | anxiety | sleepiness, at first a little giddy, but then what i trry to say starts making no sense, easily confused. unstable walking, blurred vision if i look away too fast or concentrate too hard. i'm only on it temporarily for extreme anxiety (attacks 1+ hours). | It's a good temporary fix for rehabititating anxiety, but not long term. | F | 22 | 4 days | 8/28/2004 | 4 | anxiety | Not sure if I am getting side effects. I am only taking one tablet of .5mg at night to help sleep, prior to that I took during daytime as needed but sparingly. | M | 54 | 6 weeks | 8/25/2004 | 3 | anxiety | M | 35 | 5 years | 8/14/2004 | 5 | anxiety | muscle cramps,hands and feet feel full and hot | F | 61 | 1 years | 8/12/2004 | 4 | anxiety | hands and arm feel swollen, without being swollen ach and tingle and sometimes numb. | F | 61 | | 7/23/2004 | 5 | | 6/4/2004 | 5 | Sleep | F | 47 | 3 years | 6/1/2004 | 1 | anxiety | Ativan feels like alcohol, with fewer side effects and less sleepiness. I'm immune to it - can take 10mg and will just feel somewhat, relaxed. | ADDICTIVE, big time. | M | 25 | 6 months | 5/25/2004 | 3 | Panic Attacks | Sleepiness and dizziness. Take 1 hour to take effect for me. | My doctor keeps warning me of the very addictive nature of this stuff, so I've been instructed only to take it when needed. It tends to dim the sensations, but I know the original problem is still there, lurking underneath. It's just muted somehow. But in the middle of a full-blown attack, I'm glad to have the volume turned down. | M | 37 | 40 days | 5/20/2004 | 5 | | 5/18/2004 | 5 | | 5/12/2004 | 5 | Anxiety | NONE | WONDERFUL ANXIETY MEDICATION | M | 38 | 5 years | 5/9/2004 | 5 | | 5/7/2004 | 3 | | 5/5/2004 | 4 | | 4/29/2004 |
