Wish me luck

When I go out i usually always take Ativan right before I leave. I have some errands to do tomorrow and i’m not going to take my Ativan before I leave the house. I will bring my ativan with me in my pocket incase I start to get anxiety or a panic attack. Maybe i’ll take some of my left over beta blocker (bisprolol) that i’ve stopped taking. Just incase…

Wish me luck!

(Anxiety and panic attacks fu-cking suck.

Good luck without benzo!

I also have anxiety and am trying to reduce my benzo. It’s a difficult process as I’m already dependent on it.

I’ve been been full out dependent on Ativan before and getting off of it was living hell. I try my best not to take it everyday. I never want to go through that withdrawal again.

How mant mg’s are you taking daily? How long have you been taking it daily?

I started taking 5 mg Tranxene in January and I’ve been reducing it to 4 mg one month ago. Still feeling it. Next week I’ll probably go to 3 mg.

are ativan tablet like soft and dissolving quickly. when i was on clonazepam it kinda had a sweet taste and dissolved in my mouth almost before i could wash it down with water. i imagine that could be useful if i was panicking i could put it under my tongue and itd absorb some sublingual for a quicker effect. im not on benzos anymore tho

I can’t feel anxious or aggressive but thats because of that I’m doped up by large quantities of antipsychotics. So my life is an emotionless and slow existence/non existent life.

When I get bad anxiety in public, I try my best to “just get through it” and focus on getting back in the car and heading home. If that isn’t doable, I say it’s okay if I head back out to the car and regroup. If it’s too much to go back in, that is okay. I don’t know if something like this might you or not. Maybe. I also only go to normally crowded stores in the evening when most people are winding down or eating dinner.

I wish you good luck and Godspeed on your outing, my friend.
