Hi,

From what you told me, it definitely sounds like a drug problem to me. It took great courage for you to come on here and tell us this. Many people would not be so open.

Does the person who is prescribing the Ativan know you are injecting it and hiding it away, because I think he should know. You need help kicking this addiction!

Part of the problem with some of these meds is that the patient can get hooked on them and this is what I think has happened to you. Don't knock yourself over the head about it. The important thing is what to do about it now.

Hiding drugs/alcohol away...classic sign of a drug problem.
