Anyone here using Ativan long term? I can only handle .25mg a day. Been on that dose for a few months as needed but has turned into every day for the last month. Does anyone suffer from depression as well? How to cope? I do take meds but I’m sensitive to meds so I’m scared to change them.

Hi

I have anxiety depression and ptsd. I was in Ativan for years and became dependent on it. I required more in my system to get the job done. So I was taken off it. I was out on clonopin as a bridge to get me prepared to wean off the benzodiazepines all together.

Mayb your antidepressant needs to be increase and then you won't require the Ativan daily?

I took Avitan for a few weeks on and off but decided to stop because its highly addictive. Im also sensitive to meds I take lexapro 10mg vitamin D3 and vitamin B12. I tried upping my lexapro but I felt better on the lower dose. Take care Hidden
