This week at the GP appointment she offered me Ativan for my anxiety. My pdoc appointment isn't for another month. But because I've always been the stubborn type, I turned down the Ativan.

Today (and yesterday really) my anxiety was SO bad I was in tears on more than a few occasions. I was on the way to my parent's house today for the Easter weekend and I was fully prepared to go through my mom's meds to see what she had. And actually, I DID end up going through them but decided not to take any. I felt like such a damn loser.

Anyway, long story short, I'm thinking about calling my GP back on Monday to tell her I changed my mind about the anxiety meds. She did specifically mention Ativan and was wondering if anyone had experiences with it. I'm also on birth control pills and am wondering if this makes them less effective? Anyone know?
