Good evening. This is more of a second opinion confirmation...I was on ativan for a little more than a week...1 mg. 3 x a day, when it was in fact completely unnecessary for me to use this dosage and intake...Fortunately, I discontinued treatment with the prescribing physician, and went back a previous doctor/psychiatrist, who immediately recognized my predicament and has guided me off the drug. It is now two days short of two weeks, since I started and a week since I stopped ativan all together. I have had all the withdrawal symptoms that are standard, especially surging anxiety episodes, sleep disturbance, sweats, weakness, gastro pain, et al. I now have more better days than bad, though, today, for example, there is a resurgence of the symptoms...Do you recognize this as the usual normal course of withdrawal, given the limited period and the specific dosage and intake I used? Thank you.
