i take up to 5 mg ativan prn but i try to avoid it
its good to have on hand when you need it though... just making yourself take it is the hard part. meds scare me and im convinced that i will die of an interaction or overdose or whatever. when i can get past the irrational fear it does help take the edge off and can stop the first signs of my hypomania. when im actually manic i dont feel like it does as much but hubby says he thinks it helps me be more reasonable.

ive been taking imovane for years and i want to taper off but i get really bad benzo withdrawl symptoms even though z-class drugs arent supposed to work the same as benzos exactly.

i hope you get some decent sleep... it can make all the difference in the world
