memory loss

[loveJwhite]

I lost the whole day yesterday...I don't remember it at all..creepy. yesterday I was saying it was day five for me when actually it was six...so today is seven. My husband is all worried because I'm so confused...I'm thinking things that happened yesterday actually happened two days ago.....anyone experience memory loss in withdrawal. Its very bizarre. Anyway today is cussing amazing! It is day seven right?

HI .....The memory ting drove me absolutely crazy...my wife would tell me go in the kitchen to get her something but I would forget what it was b/4 I got there...it got bad enough to start using post it notes to even get simple tasks done...its a normal part of withdrawal and will start to get better with time...good luck and God bless....Gnarly

Well I now know what the memory loss is from....I'm so stoooopid. I'm 9 days off of vicodin, thought all was amazing, but stupid me had 7 ativan and decided to take one or two on wed thurs and fri..I've been taking ativan on an as needed basis since my miscarriage on july 4th...I can honestly say I've never taken more than three a day and it's not something I love or crave ever. This miscarriage threw me for a loop and the anxiety was for real. Anyway, I haven't taken one since Friday, and guess what? I bet you can effing guess. I feel like crap ALL OVER AGAIN. It is ativan withdrawal too isn't it? That is just great. I'm soooo anxious, I'm sweaty, I have a headache, I'm mean and I'm a total idiot.

Yes...it's probably the Ativan,not really sure though. 7 doses shouldn't do that but who knows???

Keep drinking...flush your system...

I've taken 2 to 4 1mg since july 6th...quit it at the same time I quit vicodin 9 days ago...I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Can I have a seizure from this? I refuse to get more now that I know this is what it does. Am I in the clear since I haven't had any since friday-besides feeling this way?

You know,I'm not really sure.  It's been two days...and it has a short half life so I can only guess you'll be fine.  One and a half months is not very long to have been on it.
If you have some Ativan left,take a small dose just to cover yourself then call the doctor on Tuesday and get his opinion.
