Lorazapam
I was taking 1 lorazapam at bed time for many years. It worked well as far as helping me sleep through the night. My Dr. retired and i ran out I had some ativan that someone gave me which seems to work. My question is, will there be any withdrawal symptoms if i stop taking these all at once? any info on this would be appreciated.

I have been through the same thing as you have Jennyfla. My current boyfriend who I have been with 4ever was addicted to heroin and oxy's. He was addicted for about 2 years and Somehow I helped him to get clean and I cried alot of tears and have put up with so much s@%t that I was starting to get depressed and with our little boy around that was the last thing I wanted. We both love our son but mike was booting heroin or snorting 11 oxy80's in a 8 hour day.OMG I cant even begin to tell you how HORRIBLE my life was. To this day it still makes me upset to think of waht I have put our child through. Maybe I stayed because my mom stayed with my father for 16 years and he was addidted to drugs and alcohol, and I have grown up with it so maybe it was my turn to have to experience that situation. Im not sure but love makes you do CRAZY things and put up with alot of ****. Anyway he has been heroin and oxy free for about 1 year in april it is 1 year. I know he is still battling his demons but he needs to be strong, also he hurt himself and was taking vicodin for the pain and that scared me i was waiting for a huge relapse to occur. Addicts are huge bullshitters and Mike gets pisssed off at me alot because i question him so much but I DONT CARE!!!! He now is on adderall for ADHD which i think is bull and he has taken 4 pills in 1 day when he was only to take 2 a day. So maybe hes not quite out of his addiction ways. Im thankful that heroin and oxy are out of the picture but now i think adderall and lorazapam and whatever else he is taking when im not around is going to be my next hurddle. HICKORY 26years old
.......You may want to post your question further up. Sometimes these latter threads don't get read. I haven't been here for a while, and I'm just trying to catch up. I'll tell you this: you've come to the right place. You'll get some very good advice from some better qualified than myself. Sorry to hear about your tragedy, and your troubles.

Hi,
If anyone can help me here, it would be nice. My brother was murdered 6 years ago in a bizarre incident. A few months later I found myself having panic attacks. I never had experienced this before so I didn't know what it was and the first attack ended up with me in the hospital. After the doctors checked out my heart and decided I was fine they sent me home. I am 38 years old.
Later my doctor said he thought it was a sleep disorder of some kind and started trying various medications that did nothing. After a year or so of this, where I'd have various stages of panic attacks, jitters, etc.. he started trying things like Zoloft and other SSRIs which did nothing. Eventually he settled on a combination of atenolol and valium. After being on this (20 mg of valium daily) for about 3 years, I realized I couldn't function without the stuff, and I wasn't functioning that great with it.
I switched doctors, and my new doctor was shocked that I had been on valium for this long. He tapered me off the valium and switched from the atenolol to Univasc, since he was worried that going off the Atenolol might have a rebound affect with my blood pressure (which is borderline, usually about 130/90).
He then tried to replace the valium with Paxil and other stuff that did nothing. Finally we settled on 1 mg daily of lorazapam. I tried to get this dose down, but now I'm stuck at 1/2 mg every morning, and I feel like I'm in a constant state of withdrawl and I have been for 8 months. Some days I'm ok, but others I suffer from bizarre feelings that seem to be a combination of numbness and itchiness. I can have these feelings anywhere on my body, but I usually get them on my head and legs. Sometimes I also get tension in my chest muscles and I feel small muscle spasms in various places. Sometimes my arms or legs will feel 'detached' (for lack of a better word) for short periods of time and this is a unnerving experience to say the least.
I've never taken drugs in my life, and I hate this. I have a wife and Kids and my own business and I have to get through this somehow, but it's hard. The physical symptoms are the hardest thing to deal with. I'm also really bad at dealing with even the slightest bit of pressure. I used to be in great shape, but now I can't hardly even excercise any more because the physical symptoms are simply too distracting.
We just moved to another state, and I don't have a new doctor here yet, and my lorazapam supply is running low. I've got to do something and I think that I'm addicted to this stuff, but I don't want to be.
It's really a constant struggle to convince myself that these physical symptoms are not something wrong with me, but the result of this stuff.
I feel like I'm touching myself or itching all the time to try and make the numbness/itchiness stuff go away, and every time I try to stop taking the lorazapam I last about 2 days and it gets so bad I have to take it again.
Any advice anyone could give me to help get me through this stuff would be great.
Thanks.

They are fortunate to have you. Thanks for the email, by the way... I'll be getting back to you soon. Hang in there...
Love....Angelica

I seem to be at a loss for words right now, except to say I'm hear for you to lend an ear...My beloved aunt, who never had children & was more like a grandmother to me, died last year. I understand how you feel, & please feel free to talk with me any time. -- your pal Milo
You, Wiz and the others are so incredibley swesome and understanding..always there for others inspite of your own problems....thank you my friend....My grama seemed a little better last night..I took her over some of my famous spags before doug and I went out...I am just not ready for her to go yet....she is and always has been everything a gramma is supposed to be...I know someday it will happen but...not now...thanks for listening love to all cin
Wiz, thank you for the greeting and for the pot,,,you are alway so full of warmth....It makes me cry, yet at the same time it gives me such encouragment....as you do also jenny, skipper and everyone else on this forum...Wiz, you dust is always so magical for me..and that is the God's truth when I see what you have written I feel something come over me..I wne tot see that movie Artificial Intelligence.....I started crying at the beginning and it only became worse over the next 2 hours...I didn't expect it.....well I am off to bed can't hang anymore see yo all in the am Lol love to all cin
My dear Cindy, I so terribly sorry to hear about your grandmother. I have no words to express the sorrow that you have been facing daily since the loss of your mother. You and I have talked on occasions sharing our feelings on this subject as I had lost my father in a similar situation. I can say that it must be a terrible feeling to have to watch the loss of one of your own children first. If she has given up at her age I'm sure it must do with that feeling. The natural course of life should be our parents go before ourselves. You can look at and deal with this in two ways. If she has given up and progresses to the final journey, Cin she'll be with your mother and you will have two "Angels" working together looking upon you. If she is sick and could recover and have quality life if she had the will to, then you need to give her the reasons to live, like for your children and you. Cin, you must know that sometimes living is harder then dying when you have been around for so long and seen so much. If it's her time Cin, then let her know that it's okay to go. It is the journey that we must all take. I feel that we shall all be together again with our loved ones someday. Let your mother and my father get our rooms ready dear. I know that the void that has been left can never be filled and i'm sure you feel that you won't be able to take another one so soon if it comes to that. I also know that you are stronger then you think! Either way you wiil meet the challenge. We will always be her for youalong each step of the way. I shall keep you in my prayers along with her.
Power & Magick 2 U,
peace of the Lord on you always,
Luv Wiz

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother's health, i know she means so much to you!
I will pray that she gets better, and that she finds strength to be able to deal with the death of her daughter.
Just knowing that you are a wonderful granddaughter, and i know that she is comforted in knowing that you are there for her.
You are such a special person, and i know that you mean the world to her. Just keep being you, and hopefully she will take comfort that she is not alone.
I'm sorry sweetie!
I will say a prayer for her and for you!

i'm so sorry to hear of the decline your g randmmother health has
taken, Believe me i know how hard it can be to watch the decline
of some one you love. i've wartched my father rapidly degenerate
into senility. it is not fair, or at least the purpose of why this
has to happen eludes me. it happened so quickly with my father, it
was like he just started to very rapidly slip away. i had so many
things i ment to tell him, that i thought i would have plenty of
time later to say. i guess later snuck up on all 0f us quicker than
i thought possible.
what to do? (beter known as broken record kip time) My first sponcer in a 12 step program always told me to deal with my problems, as they appeared directly in front of me. the things most importatant to deal with are right in front of you. if you catch
yourself looking to either side or thinking about something that
isn't right in front of you your headed the wrong way. i've worn
myself out trying to disprove this-but the dog needs feeding, one
of the kids nose needs to be wiped, the groocery store, your best
friends bithday, so many small and insignificant little things that
all add up to something very important-your life. There is no beter sleeping aid than laying down each night knowing you've done the very best you can. take care of the little suff, the
larger issue stuff will work out.
what is this "burden the rest of us with your problems" stuff?
your allowed (as far as I'm concerned any how) to have problems
too. you should know that even the fixer needs to be fixxed!
lets all stick togather- it's getting real cold out there!

Thanks guys for the kind encouraging words.....it seems like I just got done watching my mom's health go to hell in hand basket, she did so well for so long then Bamm,,,,she died....for 41 years I have been so close to my gramma,,just as I was to my mom.....I did go over today and brought her over some chicken noodle soup ( the canned stuff LOL) and she did seem to look better....all though even when she is sick she is dressed and has her face fixed up...I'll tell you for 86 she looks 70...hardly a wrinkle....just months ago she was over here washing my curtains and windows....don't ask why that's something grammas do I guess LOL up until a month ago she was babysitting my kids....well i have a hot date tongiht with my hubby.....talk to you all later and thank you again and you are wo right,,,we do need each other,,,,you are truly special people love to all cin
Hi guys,,,,well, today was better but now my gramma is sick..is 86 years old and a very good 86 I might add..my mom's mom..she has become increasingly depressed since my mom died and now she is sick...I can see her health decline steadily and now pneumonia. she is very weak......Please....someone tell me what am I going to do...what if she dies? she is all I have left of my mom...I am so very close to her also...my kids worship her and she adores them....older people do not recover well from these things...I'm sorry for even bringing this up I told wiz that you guys all have so much going on in your life and I would never want to burden any of you with my problems but I just needed to sit here and type it all out...my gramma is depressed, and really seems to me that her will to go on is gone since my mom has died...she seems to have no desire to keep on living without my mom...again, I'm sorry for laying this out...I just needed an ear I guess....thanks for listening love to all cin
Hello ladies, Angelica check your mail you may find a rainbow!
Cin, I recieved your reply and I'm touched deeply as always by your spirit. I guess I'm under the right thread for once in my life. Today I started my decrease in Lorazapem. it's really funny how the mind works. I know it's too soon for any real feelings physically, but I 've caught myself sighing several times today in anticipation of I don't know what. What a HOOT I am to myself sometimes. All will be well I know. When this is out of my system the only thing left that I'll be addicted to is GOD, my wife and family and all of YOU! LOL NOW THOSE ARE THINGS I'M NOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!! gonna detox from ever! God bless you all and your families.
Power & Magick 2 U,

Hi guys. Hope everyone is doing good. I wanted to write and tell you all your in my prayers.
Wizard, thanks for the compliments. Your too kind. You comparing me to the wonderful Mother Theresa was too kind. But your not far off base in one way. I had to laugh. My kids call me Mother Theresa kidding around because my name is Theresa. So I got a real kick out of that. Thanks for the monkees. I had a good day. I actually got to go swimming today. We've been having so much rain that we haven't been able to swim for the bad weather. I know you pray for me. About talking to my church family about my forum family. I want people to understand the Lord said "Rain falls on the just and the unjust alike ", and I feel like addiction is as bad a disease as anything I've ever had. I don't look at addicts the same way I did when I first came here. When I was twelve, I went to a church where the pastor was an alcoholic. I remember when he went off the wagon. I thought he was lying about being saved. I now know that I was wrong. My father was an alcoholic too and as a child I didn't think he wanted to be sober. I know now I was so wrong. I want to teach others about this disease. The people here have given me an understanding about addictions I may of never learned on my own. I knew it was a sickness but not how it's effects are on the addict. I thank all of you for teaching me how to remove the mote from my eye.
Cindi,my sweet girl, it's so hard to live apart from people you love. When we moved to Tennessee, I left my parents and two sisters in Florida. Then my younger sister and her family moved here. My parents moved here. I still have a sister in Florida and a lot of other relatives. With momma and daddy gone now, I feel so sad that my siter is in Florida with none of us. But all her kids are married and live there. So I can still go visit her once in a great while. Maybe a change in your life will be helpful for you. Your mom would be proud of you Cindi. you truly are a good person. Write me soon.
Jennyfla, hold on to Gods love and allow Him to be your help during the dark moments. your on the right track so keep keeping on. your in my prayers.
Angelica, I hope your pain is doing better. You are such a help to everyone on this forum.Your prayers are greatly appreciated friend. I hope your trip will be a good one. God Bless .

You keep up the faith honey. We'll be around for all the encouragement you need. Trust in the strength God gave you and remember that He never gives you more to deal with than you can handle. If your husband is just ducking out as you say then you need to take care of you and the kids for sure. That IS the most important thing right now.You have to get yourself right before you can help others dear one. I'll keep you in my prayers as you well know. Keep striving for the Light and you shall reach it!

Thank you for your well-wishes!
I'm kind of going into this thing with half-faith because i don't like my husband saying 'he's doing this for me and the kids', something is sounding all too familiar about that line.
I'm also leary about him just wanting to duck out of society for a while, and take a break... i know him too well to have too much faith in him... don't mean to sound so negative, and i will support him along the way, i just hope he understands and appreciates all that everyone is doing to help him through this. He has a lot of learning and relearning to do, plus a lot of growing up to do!!!!!! I hope a miracle happens!
Not to downplay my own problems, because i too have a lot of learning to do... i just hope i have the strength to get through this... i doubt my own strength sometimes... this is a powerful addiction and it's gonna take a lot of willpower to beat, as you all know.
It's weird, if i think about it too hard, i almost feel more out-of-control than ever, and more destructive. I don't want to loose what little grip i have left.
I'm holding on hard though, i'm a fighter!
Thinking about everyone... i'm here at work, and i've only been here for 1/2 a day this week, so i'm so busy. I'd love to write individual post with lots of words of encouragement.. maybe i'll get on-line late tonight and be able to post some more.
Good luck everyone.. thinking about you!!!!

Kerrie dear I know all will be well for you no matter the outcome. I've never stopped praying for as you have for all of us. For you to tell your church group about us when you have so much going on in your own life brings tars to my eyes. I knew of another woman who put others well being above her own even whe she was sick. She's sitting next to the throne in paradise right now. Her name was Mother Theresa. Kerrie, there will always be one of my "monkeys" bringing you a rainbow as long as I'm the Wizard! LOL You just look to the west! God bless you darling, and may He shed His everlasting Light upon you.
Jenny, same goes for you dear. It looks like you are on the first step for you and your family to getting back into life as it should be. I won't pretend that you do not have a very long road ahead of you, but you know we will ALWAYS be here to help step along the way.I will pray for only good things in your future. You DO deserve the happiness and so does your family. Keep us posted so we can root for you. I send a few rainbows to you too! LOL Keep the Faith dear for all things are possible.

Hi Everyone,
I hope all is well with everyone, i feel so out-of-touch!
I haven't had to time to log in lately, i had company visiting, which was wonderful. It was a good friend of mine, whom i grew up with. She has suffered with two addictive husbands, and really was a great comfort to me over the past two-days. She went back home (sniff sniff), but left behind a renewed strength inside me. She was so supportive about my husband (no one knows my dark secret about myself), and really encouraged me to do something to help him, that no one should suffer as he is suffering!
My husband made a call to his mom this morning asking for financial help (his sister had offered last december). We are moving forward in getting him help soon. He said he wants to go back to Hanley Hazeldon where he went back 2.5 yrs ago. I've made the calls to get him in, we just need to set up the details.
We are going forward with this, he is going to get the help he so desperately needs and deserves.
Now for me, i will be left to deal with myself, alone. I will need to keep things going, taking care of our three children, trying to save our financial mess we are in. He hasn't been working full weeks because of his illness, so we are very far behind. We are hoping to borrow some money from his family to get by and catch up. We have no credit because of bankruptcy from the last rehab and drug abuse timeframe. We have a mortgage that we pay, and a car loan, and lots of childcare costs.
So it will be up to me to keep all this running and keep things together, and keep the kids secure, and beat my own addiction all at the same time.
Please send us prayers, and I'll probably be leaning on all of you pretty heavily coming up here real soon.
I'm gonna need help through this, it's gonna be tough, but i have faith that i can do this... for me and my children.
Love you all!
Jenny
