Ativan is now generic..has been for a long time. It's called lorazepam.There are no "kickbacks" for generics.

A general question for those on the thread: Have your medical practitioners prescribed non medication treatments? Fish oil supplements, exercise, psychotherapy? Meditation? I'm fortunate in that both my primary doctor and psychiatrist are both very well rounded in this respect. Are these options that you are open to?

I find the medication overprescription crisis has factors coming from multiple sides. 15 minute appointments are not enough time to provide quality mental health management for one, and so people are rushed out to quickly with a prescription. On the other side there are also plenty of patients who "don't need" therapy or "don't have time" to exercise, but can they try the medication? No judgement intended, just curious about adding that aspect to the discussion
