thea, I take Ativan (well Lorazapam but same thing) and I know it can be addictive but I look at it this way, I'd be in far worse shape without the pills. I would not have been able to do my job or take care of my family without the pills. So if I end up addicted to them, that's just the price I'll have to pay for getting the help I need right now.
I'm sorry your old pdoc was, well, kind of a tool. I hope you're doing ok.
