In reply to ativan withdrawl symtoms, posted by Jonna on March 5, 2001, at 14:59:32
> I have had a stressful few months and have been taking ativan..2 or 3 times a week to help with my anxiety and panic attacks...i now think that I may be addicted and start to have withdrawl symtoms after not taking it for a couple of days. I haven't been able to access anything on the internet that gives specific withdrawl symtoms. I have pressure in my head(not severe) and tingling sensations, primarily in my head, trunk and arms, is this a symtom of ativan withdrawl?
more than likely yes, and yes it IS possible to become addicted to ativan, you must be VERY careful with ativan or you could become addicted, buts thats just my advice, I have known other people who were addicted to the drug, that is why I say this, I dont have any experience with ativan myself, I have never taken it, I have read about the drug and from what I read it seems that ativan was supposed to be a safer less addictive drug than other older benzos, but time has proven that it is not much different than the others and can be just as addictive, thats just what I read, other people may tell you something different, you must use your own judgement, regards
