| 2 | Insomnia | Memory and concentraton became poor. Missed taking it one night and had terrible nitght sweats and night mares. | F | 44 | 6 months | 7/25/2002 | 2 | Insomnia | Memory and concentraton became poor. Missed taking it one night and had terrible nitght sweats and night mares. | F | 44 | 6 months | 7/25/2002 | 3 | Anxiety | none | I was given this drug to replace Klonopin which was making my hair fall out by the handful. I was taking 1 to 2 mg. of Klonopin and the doctor only gave me 0.5 of the Ativan twice a day. It really didn't have an effect on my anxiety at all. I think I need to take the same dose of Ativan I took of Klonopin. | F | 40 | 4 days | 6/7/2002 | 5 | panic disorder | drowsiness, mild sedating feeling | I initially felt really tired and sleepy for about a week-and-a-half (I was also taking Ativan with an anti-depressant). Overall, it was a great short term, fast acting medication that helped alleviate my many panic attacks :) | F | 20 | 40 days | 6/2/2002 | 4 | Fear of Flying/Anxiety | Drowsiness. Also, I had a slight sensation which felt like I had cotton in my ears. | Worked great. Eased my anxiety and allowed me to fall asleep only to wake up and feel refreshed 2 hours later. I took .5 mg and that was perfect for me. Don't take on a daily basis but only in stressful situations. | M | 24 | | 5/10/2002 | 4 | anxiety | none | BUT drug is highly addictive, as are all Benzodiazepines | M | 32 | 2 years | 4/5/2002 | 4 | Anxiety/panic | None worked first day and never took more than 1mg a day. down to .5mg a day 1 pill first thing in the morning. | There are withdrawl symptoms very much like anxiety , dropping down .5mg from my 1mg dose I took 6 weeks. I tried sooner but it was uncomfortable. | M | 37 | 1.5 years | 1/9/2002 | 5 | for anxiety | no side effects, back to normal. I can work out, do all my chores, am nicer to the family, and it just helps me from worrying about things that are not there or that I have no control over. It is the only drug that worked for me. I was on paxil for 5 yrs. wanted off that rollarcoaster, it changes your brain chemicals, and I just wanted something to calm me down from my negative thoughts. | F | 42 | | 10/9/2001 | 3 | Anxiety/Depression | Drowsiness | Worked wonders in the first several months. Eventually started having a roller coaster feeling. Would feel very depressed/anxious as med was wearing off. Switched to a longer acting benzo named Klonopin. | F | 29 | 10 months | 7/28/2001 |
