@arthur57 it’s a terrible drug lol all of them psych meds are terrible I don’t care if it’s a SSRI or a SNRI or a mood stabilizer they all have horrible withdrawal and some extremely severe side effects those Benzo’s have saved peoples lives, and help anxiety not everyone is depressed, and needs some bogus antidepressant that they get paid by Big Pharma for them prescribing it and there’s people like me that can only take Klonopin with NO Side Effects, but have every side effect from their garbage SSRI what it is they don’t make enough money off of Benzo’s and SSRI and Mood stabilizers can be very expensive!!

@romancity13, I totally understand what you’re saying and agree completely, I’ve been taking Ativan for over twenty years and it’s been my anchor for years, I couldn’t have coped with many things including cancer without it. I’ve tried antidepressants many times and I feel sick from side effects, currently I’m doing it again and kicking myself because I feel so lousy, worst part is that I have to withdraw again so more side effects to deal with. Also recently I started having inter dose withdrawal from Ativan and that’s scary, I can basically go about 8 hours between doses but then I need another dose so currently I’m taking 0.5 mg 3 times daily. This is why I started trying antidepressants again but I believe it’s having the opposite effect, I feel like I am going around in circles, I have a new doctor who is trying to help me but I feel his experience is limited, getting help elsewhere is challenging north of the border.
