Freaking out

[Callie67]

Today was only my second day on .75mg of Ativan instead of 1mg and the anxiety is already getting to me!! Except I think I’m more talking myself into it vs the affects of decreasing. I was having anxiety on Monday just going to the psychiatrist appt bc I knew we’d talk about tapering off. Which I WANT to do, I’m just anxious over possible side affects.

Might be bumping up my Remeron from 3mg to 7 sooner than I anticipated just to (hopefully) calm myself down and get through this.

Man I hate being on medicine!!!!

Don’t stress out to much over it as you can up your dosage if you feel you need to to slow the tapering. Best wishes John

True but I was on the 1mg cut for a month (been on it total since Christmas) so I just want off. But I heard stressing about it can make the withdrawal process worse. Thank you for the wishes.
