In reply to Ativan (benzo) and Geodon, posted by aspenice11 on June 22, 2004, at 10:46:23
I went into a center for treatment of alcoholism and they also took away my ativan. It took a couple of months for the bad withdrawals to go away. My problem was that they put me on all sorts of psychotropics that made me feel real weird as well. So out of fear that I was losing my mind I went back on Ativan and now I am going through wicked withdrawals from the psychotropics. It is a terrible cycle. I don't mean to be a downer, but I guess the point I am trying to make is why did you go off the ativan to begin with? Was it working for you?
> Well, I have been off of Ativan for 3 months and Geodon for 2 months and some days are so unbareable. Does it get better? I know that I am going thru drug withdrawal but it is so hard. Just wondering if any of you have gone thru withdrawal? For how long? What did you do to deal with anxiety and symptoms?
