I am over my cold and don't take as much ativan. I only took .5 yesterday. I just started effexor and am feeling pretty calm. I am thinking I should maybe take .25 for a few days and then just quit. Or can I just quit cold turkey, actually I will ask my pdoc his opinion.
Alexander you are right, I was taking the ativan for the wrong reasons when I had my terrible cough. It's just that if I don't get enough sleep, I get very, very anxious, so that is why I got desperate for sleep, and was taking too much ativan. But I was only not sleeping because of the cough, not because of insomnia.
Thanks all for you help.
