Glad to hear the post was deleted. I replied to it and was very worried. Please don't use this forum to get attention if that is what you were doing. We really do care about our fellow members. You weren't asking what you should take. You were telling us after the fact. That leaves everyone helpless and wondering if you lived or died. I'm glad you made it, but know that you could very well have been in a coma somewhere, on life support.
the only reason i posted it at all was to see if it would hurt me to take that much. It was in no way an attempt to hurt myself not sleeping does things to your head. i would never wish anyone to follow anything i do. I tell you what though i slept for 2 days and woke up more depressed then ever!!!!
They deleted your post for a couple of reasons. First, there was, no doubt, some concern that this was a possible suicide situation. Secondly, there may have been concern that other's would follow your example with a much worse outcome.
But now you tell us that you actually took 15 tablets, not 9. Don't be surprised if THIS post is also deleted.
You are 32 years old and should, absolutely, know better than to take such a potentially dangerous dose of Ativan. What WERE you thinking? Did you stop for even one minute and consider the possible consequences?
You say you got what you wanted, which was, apparently, to sleep for a long time. Next time you need to sleep, and can't, ask your doctor for a sleep aid. The alternative could be a sleep that lasts forever.
We are all grateful to hear that you're OK and well rested, but I very strongly suggest you tell your doctor what you did and discuss getting into some therapy.
Please don't mess around with the dosages of these types of drugs, Julie.........it's like playing with fire.
See your doctor
Peace
