hi you really need to watch getting cross addicted when taking a benzo your also still displaying drug seeking behavior by taking more then prescribed this in its self can be dangerous .....time to check out some form of aftercare and start treating your addiction it wont go away on its own just because you stopped the pills dose not mean your no longer an addict ...as addicts we need to change the very way we think and reason to overcome or illness this is possible there groups like N/A or A/A or addiction consolors or therapists the thing here is to become pro active in your recovery there should never be a reason to take 6 atavan other then looking for a high.....good luck and God bless......Gnarly

I have Fibromyalgi and degenerative arthritis in my spine. Went to get a perscription filled on Friday and with copay i paid 57.43. They called me Sunday and told me they billed me wrong i owed them another 63.78, I just got laid off work till set 6 and no extra money took them back and a few nasty words to say.Needless Fibro fared like fire,,Then they called me Monday and told me they made another mistake and it was really the 57.43 and i cold pick then back up.Needless never got them so started back on my Ativan and afte taking 4-1mg i am as high as a kite. No worries that i have no money for my rent, bills etc.I am mentally and physically tired of all  the pain and depression I want my life back (:

silly, you didnt let us down...i really dont see anything wrong with useing them to help you sleep in the early stages of w/ds.  i had no idea 10 mg would be an okay dose.  i am shocked...i guess because2mgs would knock me on my a$$.  i am really proud of the progress you have made.  i cal myself a mother hen all the time.  my momma was laughing atr me because i told her i feel like the mother hen of the forumm always clucking and gathering her little together...so that is what i was doing, just clucking to make sure you didnt get lost lol.  you know i care about you at least. lol

Its the old escape us guys crave isn't it. Life is up and down and sometimes tough so to get off the pills we need to find new ways to deal w theses issues (ah thanks dr phil). Anyway what I'm trying to say is at least your thinking and attitude to life and the pills is changing even if you have a relapse or weak moment. Stay in control. x

Ok I just looked it up and it said usuall range 2-6 mg daily but dosage may vary from 1-10 mg. So I think I'm ok but I'll just leave these little white pills alone and I wanna get hooked onto something else. Weeewe Sorry guys I hope didn't let anybody down. Stupid me Lesson learned.

basicly 1st took 3 and didn't really notice anything then took another 3 and it has calmed my nerves. Should I like run to hosp or something?

[oxygirl487]

why did u take 6? i must have a low tolerance to those things or u have a high one...id take 1of those and i'd be out for the night and i used to do oc 80's......i dont know if its dangerous or not..sounds like it would be....what happened? did u take one and it didnt work and decided on 2 then 3? just curious......

[Missy31]

yeah it hasn't made me sleepy at all I guess I have a high tolerance?

[cathy5841]

missy, i think taking the ativan is okay occasionally, but with that being said i agree with worried.  that is too much girl.  just take 1 or 2 that should be plenty.  are you still awake? lol
keep me poted.

Well don't think I'll be doing that again!

[Missy31]

Oh Gosh like dangerous as far as could kill me like OD or becoming addicted. Bad thing? Now I'm scared

[worried878]

That is alot of ativan...be careful... I am glad u did not take a narcotic I guess...that is the only positive thing I can think of to say about taking that much ativan..Benzos are habit-forming and you know that as you have been on this forum for a while...please be careful...keep posting....you dont want to take that much...that is dangerous...dont underestimate those....K?
