> ive been takin ativan for anxiety for about 7 weeks. when i try to go off it i cant breathe and my rib cage aches, cant sleep cuz i cant breathe. i was told to go on paxil instead. is thre somethin else wrong u think?
I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING OCCURRING! I went to the doctor because of intense, anxiety-related breath hunger (can't breathe, swallow, or sleep as a result). Six months of .5MG to 1MG of Ativan works for me. But, it's really addictive. Any day I don't have ativan, the breathing is unbearable. What should I do?
