I felt so much calmer after reading your post soulpicnic. I am feeling better today, my stomach is still a little messed up.... but today is definitly better. I just took 1 1/4 ativan last night and slept, I will do that again tonight and then go to 1 for a couple of nights and then a half for a couple. does that sound reasonable. I was glad to hear that you are a nurse. YOu are right I was having every symptom imaginable and it seemed like I was making it worse with all the worrying. I suppose that is some of the benefit of being in a hospital setting. They can tell you... you aren't going to die. I thought I was a few times. Someone asked how much oxy I was taking, well at the end I was taking 4 or 5- 5mg at a time about 4 times a day. I did try to taper over a month with the ativan, but I really wasnt that succsessful so I did a rapid 4 day taper and then cold turkey. I had to plan it with my husband and I took a week off work, that has turned into 2, but hopefully I will be ready to go back next week. Today I feel pretty proud of my self. I hope I will feel even better then this soon, but this is enough of an improvement to get me through today. Thanks to all of you, this really is helping me.
