My last pdoc told me that ativan was "alcohol in a pill", even though he prescribed them for me anyway (not that many, but enough at the time.)

No other doctor has ever said this to me. I guiltily asked my new doctor today if I could have some and he said "sure" and wrote a prescription for more than I ever take. But for some reason it's really stuck with me.

They help me to stop crying a bit, take the edge off, but now I feel like an alcoholic or something. I don't know what my point is. I guess I'm just making another excuse to feel bad.
