You will be taking it for such a short period, that you will not become physiologically dependent on it. I have been playing around with the idea of using Trileptal to help with the withdrawal effects from discontinuing BZD or SRI. Anyway, it is fortunate that you have been offered the Ativan. Please post your progress. I am rooting for you!

Be not deceived. You could be killed or your child killed if you are drugging your child in collaboration with a psychiatrist by accepting what Scott has posted here as being safe and that there are no severe consequences from taking his advice. This is allowed by Mr. Hsiung that makes it worse for readers as they could think that what Scott is promoting here is being supportive and that the drugs he promotes are safer than they really are.
Scott writes, [...I can't think of any downside to using Ativan...].
Just because he can't think of any downside does not mean that there is not any downside. In fact, from how Scott presents himself here, he could really know of the downside of the drug and deliberately states that he does not know of the downside when he really does. How could he be ignorant of the downside when he posts from the perspective of some type of authority here? You see, that is the great danger as readers could think that Mr. Hsiung is allowing Scott to post with impunity here grossly misleading information that could cause your addiction, life-ruining conditions and death. For Ativan is well known to induce horrific withdrawal since it is addictive and can cause life-ruining conditions which Scott does not disclose.
I want to save your lives. I want you to not be hooked by the drugs here being promoted by a psychiatrist through Scott and others without disclosing the horrific consequences from the drugs. Ativan is a manipulated benzodiazepine of the addictiveness from just taking it for a week. If Scott was to post all of the consequences from this drug including that it can cause cancer, a different picture could be seen. The inaction of Mr. Hsiung raises severe ethical questions.
