Ativan isn’t an antidepressant. It’s in a different class of medications (benzodiazepines) and is prescribed for anxiety. Ativan is a good medication that is often prescribed for medical procedures (I had Ativan when I had an MRI).

The stress center recommended a 3 day per week session for 4-6 weeks. I have not heard from them regarding when this will start. Last night I went to the ER hoping to be admitted. All they did was give me a prescription for Ambien which did not give me any sleep last night. I reached out to the er doctor to let him know. I have also called and emailed the stress counselor I saw yesterday and, of course, no response. Time is my enemy. On a positive note, my co-workers have been a blessing by staying in touch with me. Thank you for being here for me!
