Anxiety attacks in an effed-up modern society. Take a 1 mg. Ativan tab and go put your feet up for an hour.
Do that every day for a week and you'll likely become dependent on Lorazepam, the active ingredient in Ativan. Then have fun trying to quit them. Just ask Jordan Peterson how fun that is.
Benzodiazepines are insidious drugs. I have a relative who got hooked on them inadvertently because his doctor gave have a scrip for them because he suffered from mild anxiety here and there. Within a month he was hooked - tried to get off them and his side effects were horrible - awful head pressure, trouble sleeping, hot and cold flashes, dizzyness. I checked it out on the web for him and what I discovered shocked me - people's lives are being destroyed by these drugs. Lots of people. Benzo support groups abound on the web. These damn drugs should be outlawed.
It's now been three months and my relative's still in the process of slowly weaning off the Ativan. Nightmare.
