Ativan tolerance

Posted by gmamrj @gmamrj, Feb 2, 2024

I have built up a tolerance for .5mg of Ativan that I have been taking at bedtime for 5 years. Refuse to increase the dosage
Could I substitute a marijuanna gummie for the ativan

My doctor retired and it was difficult to find another doctor who would prescribe Ativan for me. I did find one I love. Find an older doctor. The young ones are afraid of benzos.

Indica 5 mgs. really helps me when I’m having sleep issues.

Then your older one will die or retire and you’re in the same boat. It’s very difficult to get ongoing benzo scripts nowadays and only going to get worse.

He's only in early 60s and I am 78 so I think he will be around for awhile. Not too young; not too old.
