Only thing that helps is my Ativan. But I only get 3 a week. So I have to save it for work.
My doctor really did not want to prescribe the Ativan and refused for about 8 months. I finally had to bring my mom in with me after a particularly bad week.
I saw him a couple of weeks ago. He "technically" did not give me another refill on it. He said when I run out to get my therapist to give him a call. I did have some left. We'll see if he fulfills that promise. He can go back and forth on thing, even though it's not healthy to go off and on it. I may not be addicted or dependent on it but I still have withdrawals from it when I go off.

I am so fed up with the 'benzo ban'! Damn it. Benzos truly help some people live life. Pdocs are prescribing AP's to help with anxiety (which they seldom do); AP's are so much more dangerous than benzos are. It really angers me.
