effects of going off ativan!

Posted by Amy II on October 1, 1999, at 15:44:12

My doc prescribed zoloft and ativan for my quote anxiety. those of you who have read my story know what i speak of. well I started with 25 mg of zoloft a day for one week and two mg of ativan ( one in the morning and one at night). the secon dweek I am still on two mg of ativan but 50 mg of Zoloft now and by week three I will be on 1mg of ativan and 100mg of zoloft. His theory is giving me some relieve with the ativan until the zoloft kicks in. Well I tried not taking the ativan today and it seems like my anxiety is worse. Or quote anxiety anyway. I have strange body aches inside my body and shadows in my side vision. My arms get sore really easy and my eyes are still dialated. Still having vivid dreams. about 20 to 30 different vision of dreams an night. So I took the ativan and really dont feel that much better. How long does zoloft take to work and are these symptoms normal? numbness goes on in certain parts of my face. I just HATE this!!!. I regret the day i ever took ecstacy. Now my boyfriend is so busy with work he doesn't have time for me hardly at all he is going h8unting this weekend with a couple of friends that i dont trust. He lied about what he was doing today. He said he was working but he was having sushi with a friend and wasn
t working at all. all this is just too much. Maybe I need to find a site where i can talk about relationship issues too. I feel i have no one to talk to. I have limited friends just because i chose to start my life early whe n i was 17 i got married and had 2 kids by 19. divorced and my life has been a roler coaster ever since. Now with this thing that happened to me 5 and half months ago i feel my life will never be the same that one morning i am going to wake up and wont be able to control any thoughts or any movement of myself at all. that i will eventually end up in a looney bin. I wish somoeone out there had answers or knew someone with similiar experiences with ecstacy so i know what i am looking forward to. Complete torture or does it eventually go away. Or will the docs never find exactly whats wrong with me. I have severe drfy throat too is that normal?
Any info will help
thanks, Dazed and confused, Amy II
