Tough nite fighting my anxiety

[Jennc01]

I'm on the verge of having a panic attack I'm feeling anxious and have been trying to fight it for a few hours ..I had dental surgery 2 days ago and prescribed Vicodin for the unbearable pain I only needed one today about 9 hrs ago but I'm scared to take my Ativan I take very low dose .5 to help me calm down due to taking this pain killer earlier thinking it's going to give me a bad reaction from having both in one day and I'm going to end up in the hospital I just need to calm down but I can feel my heart racing my body is hot and my chest hurts so I might have no choice but to take the Ativan even though I know it's ok to take both together just have anxiety of the what if's

I've had it for about 2 yrs now the Ativan...I only needed it 2-3 x last yr this yr a different story I take when needed but sometimes was taking 2 a week one doctor in April  of this yr told me to take it 3 times a day for 2 wks then taper off I couldn't do 2 wks 3times a day I have 2 kids one 6 one 4 and my 4 yr old is autistic so I need to be completely alert and it was making me sleep with major headaches so I'm still on it but fight to not take it down to me severe times when I find myself going to the ER have  been to the ER 3 xs in a month over panic thinking I'm having a heart attack but I'm trying so hopefully the Zoloft works when I start taking it I hate this fight with panic/anxiety good thing I have insurance my medical bills would be through the roof

If your Dr. said its fine to take your ativan with it, then it is. I used to mix ativan with stuff, but only after calling and asking a Dr. if it was okay, or a pharmacist.

Nothing ever happened to me.

However, I would recommend taking the ativan ONLY when needed. Those benzos can cause dependence in little to 2 weeks of straight use. Happened to me.

Last nite ended up instead taking my mind off it by searching this app called houzz home decorating ideas for almost 2 hrs finally just passed out...woke up with lil anxiety but gonna try and fight it again today ..never ending battle of this fight against it...I went to my psycologist and told her therapy wasn't working at all so I needed something everyday since Ativan is as needed and I'm constantly struggling with this:( had to leave my cart full of groceries in target cause I started to fill like I was gonna faint so enough was enough got a prescription for Zoloft .25 mg low dose as I'm very scared of pills in general haven't started it yet since she said u can not take it with a pain med so until my pain goes away I'm starting on half of that to see how I feel then on day 3 hopefully full dose....I'm praying this will take my suffering away when I start it
