Your pdoc sounds like HE’S a bad influence too. And I’m sorry for that. |
I was on Ativan a few times before and the last time I managed with being prescribed 15 a month. About 3 a week and it was all I needed. I was taken off it cold turkey one time, I think I was on 1 or 2 mil a day. I did ok with that and I had no withdrawals. I switched to visteril which worked for a few months but the side effects for the first 24 hours after I took one were bad. I tried 25 mil of visteril and it made me hungry and unable to lose weight no matter how hard I tried.
But yeah I was surprised he didn’t get pissed and yank me off off it and all he said was “how about we Ativan instead.”
My mental health providers are all wackos. My medical ones are good though.
