Hi Everyone,
I was recently perscribed Ativan 3 weeks ago for my anxiety.....and it does seem to dull me to most things including my own real feelings, so i have been trying to stop taking it, but everytime i do i have terrible insomnia, cant sleep at all during the day or night......and i'm on the lowest doseage of Ativan. This all started when i started taking the damn pill. So just wondering if any of you have had to deal with the withdrawl/insomnia and how long i should expect it to last. I make it about 2 1/2 days of no sleep and then i usually cave and take .5mg one. grrrrr so frustrating. Thanks for any help!

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Benzo's are not sleep aids... they are addictive and are one of the drugs (that and alchool) that can kill you if you go into full withdraw... happens with higher dosages though
As a side note, the other drugs, Cocaine, uppers, downers, opiates, and all other psychotropic drugs will not kill you On a side note, opiate withdraw will not kill you... it will just make you want to die.
