Venting/ PDOC /Ativan

Posted by wynterhaven on April 8, 2004, at 18:33:32

Argghh!!
I have chronic ptsd and am on disibility.
Been on 0.5 mg of Ativan for a year, a godsend.
I use the drug for panic or severe anxiety.
Because I don't work and live alone I only take the drug when absolutly needed.
But after a year it just doesn't work the way it did.
I did some research and learned I am on a very low dose.
I understand the addiction part.
But when I asked my pdoc to bump me up to 1 mg he got all freaked out and started yelling at me about how I better not come back in 6 months and ask for more because he WOULD NOT GIVE IT!!

Give me a break!
He tried telling me that 1 mg was the maxium amount that anyone could receive and I know that's bs.
Pisses me off that I had to feel guilty to ask for something that has enabled to leave the house.

Anyone wishes to comment, please do.
