| Add Ativan review INCREASED SWELLING IN LOWER LEG AND ANKLES MOSTLY MY LEFT ANKLE I have been on Adivan for5-6years and now i take it 2times a day (img) and i have now many mood swings and crying ,also cramps ,anger, and bad tought and while sleeping CRACY dreams .....it feels likeall night. i want to get off this med. please let me know how I was given two orange tablets of Ativan at the hospital before gong in for an internal biopsy. This was to just take the edge off (although I didn't feel particularly anxious). Pain reliever was to be administered just before the biopsy, except that the Ativan had knocked me out. I had no adverse reaction from this, and waked about two hours after the procedure had been completed. I dressed and m ... I was going through withdrawal from another drug and having anxiety. A doctor at a clinic told me to take this Ativan twice a day until I see my regular doctor. I have been tossing and turning every night and getting very little sleep. So when I get too tired I take one of these Ativan before bed and they work very well. Helps me sleep when my anxiety gets out of hand, also calms me pretty quickly...how long does this stay in your system if you do not use it daily????? been taking for two years but not consistenly....prn | Add Klonopin review It is working much better than the xanax and I like the brand mylan better than the teva.. Hope this helps some out there.. This medication is awesome, I feel at ease taking this medication I've been taking the pills for around 1.5 years now and my Dr recently increased my doseage to keep me calm and relaxed in my stressful work place "Telecommunications Call Center Agent". panicattacks I have been on this medication a couple of months and it is wonderful. I am calm and can function without all the anxiety that I am so used to feeling that keeps me a mess so that I can't get anything accomplished. I would like to stay on this the rest of my life. I am 59. | |||
