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…
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?
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.
