I get the 'I haven't been the best of patients' part...I was also not the best of patients many times. I think really would second the opinion that you aren't in the best situation to not be honest with your doctor. You really need to let your doctor know what has happened and say everything you said here.
Hope your situation improves...
I'm very sorry if that last post seemed abrupt. I just don't know how else to say it. You just can't take those two drugs together. For your daughter's sake, your sake and those who love you, just don't
BTW, There's one drug that absolutely positively should NOT be taken while on subutex due to a risk of death. benzos!
Ativan is a short acting benzodiazapine, very similar to xanax. Quitting CT is not recommended. I think you need medical assistance with your dependence on ativan. For more information on quitting benzos, google "ashton manual"
Hi & Welcome,
I don't know what they would do for you at the hospital or what a new doctor would do either. I mean what would you take to get off of the Ativan? I don't like suggesting that you simply let the pills run out and don't get anymore but you have not been on them long and not on a high dose. Of course there is always a risk and that is why I don't suggest it. Personally, I think you need to get honest with your addiction counselor. What is the sense of going and trying to get help if you are not going to be honest? They can't help you if you lie or hide things. Know what I mean? You ned to get through this and stop using the pills for emotional pain. It will always catch up with you. Hang in there and I hope you get through this okay.
