sleep is secondary indication
Ativan is THE MOST abused prescription sleep drug in the world! This drug WILL make you a sleep walking and SLEEP DRIVING zombie with zero recollection of anything the next day. Look at youtube!!
Big Pharma says “safe and effective” and earned Faucis Good Labkeeping Seal of Approval.
I thought Ativan was more of an anti-anxiety drug rather than a sleep aid.
There are lots of sleep aids that aren’t addictive.
Ativan is powerfully bad news.
Old friend in Florida was once lots of fun, then she started Ativan and became extremely paranoid. Accused me of stealing from her refrigerator. I called her son in NY and told him she needed to be in some kind f supervised housing (if not the looney bin). Sad, really.
Sounds like she went to a Dr. Feelgood pill mill.
Should have taken OxyContin.
If she’s going to take anything.
Her problem was her choices prior to taking pharmaceuticals.
I took Ativan for two years and can tell you that it is one of the most satisfying sleeps I’ve ever had and no grogginess the next day, but I understand that people are different.
Ativan also brought on very vivid, very cool dreams.
From her story it sounds more like her pregnancies triggered some underlying organic brain dysfunction and the Ativan only made it worse. Taking a powerful psychotropic on top of an undiagnosed underlying organic problem was not the wisest course of action.
