I need help here, For those of you who know me I am going through Ativan withdrawal, man it ***** I was only on it for three months though, but still WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is all I can say folks WOOHHHHH!!!! What a powerful pill, I started on 2mg daily and I am down to a wee 0.25mg daily, my question is I was put on Klonopin, blindly in hospital 0.5mg twice daily 6 years ago and I know I am also going through tolerance withdrawal from that fun stuff... Should I increase my Klonopin just until I am off the Ativan? Any advice would be greatly appreciated..... I want to keep my sanity folks..... These pills are no joke!!!!! for anyone thinking of taking one please don't!!!!!!!!!
Take Care Nate(+) P.S. 4 more weeks and I am off Ativan..... Also would an antidepressant save my sanity as well?

please go to web site http://www.stormloader.com/bettyf/
i got there from internet explorer. please don't let it scare you. stay calm, i know what your going through. most doctors don't. your ativan and klonipan are basically the same thing. Benzodiazpine's (benzo's). Google the word and search for more info. i learned that valium was best to withdraw with. i know now that i should have done it much slower at first. i was on 8mg xanax, 4mg klonopin and 30mg temazapam a day for 7 years and towards the end, drank alcohol everyday. a year ago, i stopped the klonopin, xanax and temapazam replaced them with valium. xanax is 10x stronger than valium. i am still having a hard time, but so muchhhhh better. have not had a drink since june 29, 2007. i almost did'nt make it, but i'm here. if i can do it you can to. please talk to a specialist, be aware that even some rehabs don't know how to detox benso's. it takes a LONG time to get of them and a long time to recover. do it slowly. they will fry your brain and wipe out your memory, all because you had a little trouble sleeping. sign the petition on the web site and read some of the comments. you are not alone nate. i understand.
