I’m also taking Ativan for over 20 years, I take 0.5 mornings and bedtime…I stopped them twice when I hadn’t used them for long and it does work however it is not so easy anymore. I also use gummy’s with both THC and CBD, without them I don’t eat much and I’m thin, also I sleep better too. I feel like they work well with the Ativan instead of antidepressants. I’m not saying it works for everyone, it’s a slow process but aside from the cost I am glad I found something without my doctor..he is aware that I use this because you have to let them know what is in your system in case of interaction. We all have very similar problems give or take some differences and it’s a real challenge to find what helps you, before now I have never been online sharing information with other people and it has been mostly rewarding for me but I also feel tremendous sadness when I hear how many people are suffering and a lot of it is due to bad doctors and bad drugs, it’s seriously time for changes to provide better care for all of us. We all need hope because it helps us to persevere in life, amen.
