Ativan works..

Post by jerseyguy »

Ativan really does it for me, 0.5mg, night and in the morning.
I have been taking it for the past 10 days, per my PT.
I have been asked to take it for a month or two, to retrain the muscles.
Is it really diffficult to get off it, are there any side-effects after stopping it.
With the low dosage, I have no side-effects, as such.
I am concerned about long-term effects, though!
Thanks

Your body will probably tell you that you need more than .5 after a while. And even at a low dose for the that long there will be some withdrawal problems. Hopefully they won't be too bad. Anything that works.
