My wife has been taking Ativan and has become dependent on it. She takes 10 pills a day, She has tried suicide numerous times, 4 times in the last few months, She has thoughts of killing people, and herself, she starts crying and can't stop when she doesn't take her pills after a day or two. She has something like a seizure where she can't stop shaking and panic attacks, My wife is a nurse and has been for 25 years, she has a problem but wont seek help. I'm worried because my wife isn't a flakey type of person, she's very intelligent and a very good nurse and has never been a user of drugs or alcohol now she does both. I scared for her I know she's in trouble, as her husband what can I do,to get her help. She told me that she feels like an hour glass with the time running out. she also came to me a whispered in my ear ":save me." Please Help us
