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 Robaxin review Muscle spasms in neck and shoulders This medicine definitely worked for me, however, I felt extremely nauseous, and it gave me headaches.
