I never made it to the therapist on Monday as I was too panicky. I now can’t see him until March 10. I don’t know if my heart will hold out. I emailed him about a long taper but he said he doesn’t know if that will be appropriate until we meet in person.

Rick, I have read many stories of how difficult the taper is to get off Ativan (using the Ashton water method) and after having been a victim of the detox center’s scam that it would take 7 days and I would be clean without any discomfort, you can understand why I was so disappointed in myself for taking the Ativan this morning. I fear I am going to put myself right back where I was. I was never told by my family practitioner who prescribed massive doses of both Ativan and Xanax to me that either of these two substances were addictive. I had never even heard the word benzodiazepine before. I was very naive. I try to put in place your suggestions and those of others on this site who have our best interests in heart. I always enjoy hearing from you. Wishing you well.
