Lorazapam

[Dee]

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'm sorry, i seem to be at lost for words when i comes to myself.  I full of words for others, but i don't know what to say to everyone...  I know i need to do something, and it's stupid to just sit her and act like it all doesn't exist and keep taking my 'numb' pills so i can go into my own little world and dissapear for a while.  I NEED to do something soon before it is too lack, but i feel i don't have the guts.  I'm afraid, and, although this life is hell, it feels easier 'to say here'.
Before my husband rehab 2.5 yrs ago, i went to a few alanon meetings and didn't feel comfortable there.  When i essorted my husband to rehab 2.5 yrs ago, i had credit cards to fall back on, so i used them to live for the time he was out of work.  His boss also gave him the 'all clear' to get help with insurance that he job would be back.  The manager is gone now, it would have to go through the big boss now, and i fear his job would be gone.  I don't make enough to support the kids and the mortgate, etc. if he were out of work.  Now, one thing out there, his sister offered to help back in december, she is a district attorney in PA ( I think i've mentioned her before), she is our only hope.  He needs to, or i will have to call her.  I'm so afraid though.  I'm scared to death about his addiction and my own.  i hate this, i'm in hell!!!!!!!
I'm gonna leave early from work today with my two daughters.  Have to run some errands...  trying to keep myself together without breaking into tears, but i'm ok.
Thank you all again, and i want to list everything you've all said piece by piece and comment and thank you all, but i'm having trouble reading the words without tears.  I have to stay focused today, so again, i'm whimping out!
Cindi, yes, i've heard the sadness is easy to see on my face, and i hate being like that because i really do love life... there is so much out there to enjoy and life, i feel like i'm in a great big box and can't get out!
Love you all!

I live outside Washington, DC, so I just come straight down 95 to Tampa, than 4 to 60 into Clearwater. Sorry honey, I don't go through any mountains. I need to see my sister, she always helps me get back on track emotionally. We talk at least 2x's aday, boy do we have hugh phone bills! But I love her and miss her so much. My boy's went to Al-ateen tonight! They decided on their own that they wanted to find out more, and why he hurt them. My 11 year old went with me to Al-anon last week and thought it was cool. He's the one so angry and hateful toward my ex. This is a very large group and they seemed to connect, and they want to go back! All I can do is take it one day at a time. I've spent so much energy trying to figure out what's happened and what will happen in the future. I've finally realized to take baby steps. I can't undo the past so I have to let go. And the future's not here yet, but I believe I can handle one day at a time. Just to get through one day at a time without pain, anger or sadness. I love you girlie, Susan

I'm here i'm here!!!!
I'm at work today, didn't make it yesterday, i laid in bed too depressed to get up! :(
I have two daughter here at work with me today, so although i'd love to type individual responses, i have my hands full!
Wow, what a response, i'm and overwhelmed with the amount of support i received, and i reread my post from that dark night, and now i remember why i must be feeling so depressed.  Life plus a bit of withdrawals too.  The more depressed i've been, the more **** i would take, so i'm feeling the effects of doing too much over the weekend.  I wake up so low, i can hardly get  out of bed!!!
My husband is back on the effexor, and taking his methadone again, so he seems to be somewhat more stable.
Susan...  I read your words, and plan to go back and reread them when i have more time, and what words they are!  I might need to reread that post over and over for it all to sink it, and i thank you so much, and i'm glad you feel free somewhat, although i understand your pain still.
Cindi, your line about wondering what is next in your life hit the nail on the head...  I wonder that all of the time, what is next in my life.  How long will my husband live, and what will i do if he were gone.
It tears me up inside to think about it!!!  :(
My husband says he will go to rehab, but doesn't know how to get there. Doesn't want to loose his job, but if he does, he won't have his job anyway.
Geez, i've got two little girls pulling at me in both directions, it's almost impossible to post...
I will try to get on later tonight after everyone goes to sleep.
Thank you all so much for coming to my rescue!!! :)
I love you guys!
