I’m curious if this has happened to other people, I take 1 mg. per day of Ativan and it’s mostly all I use for my anxieties, I don’t know when it started with me but I do know that I was young, very young. I recently had a scary experience with this medicine, I filled my prescription for my meds and started taking the Ativan only to go through a major panic attack complete with spasms in my face and limbs.. I thought I’d never get past it but after a long time it started to pass, I was thinking perhaps I formed an allergy to them, I take only one other med but they’re compatible. After much searching I found out I had the right med but it was made by another pharmaceutical company, the key ingredient is the same but each company uses different fillers to make it, this is where the problem was. I’ve had this before many years ago with a different medication and it was resolved immediately but Ativan as you know is a controlled substance so you have to go through a process to have them repeated which took a while to get, needless to say I think I was quite sick and scared senseless but it sure made me realize how much power is in these meds. I hope one day they will find a better way to treat anxiety, amen.
