Re: mirena anxiety it gets better

Stopping the Ativan was horrible, i suggest reading a benzo support group. It might be rough, but you will make it! Just remember that it gets better!! You must stop the Ativan as soon as possible, the longer you are on the worse it is. Taper off if you need to. I have a friend that also quit cold turkey, she didn't sleep for a month. I didnt sleep for days at a time, but would occaissionally get some. I also had crzy electric shocks and was clammy and sweaty, but those only asted a few weeks. Rest, watch mindless distracting tv, remember that it will pass. Find someone you trust and ask them to help you get through the withdrawal. My daughter saved my life by being with me, holding my hand, caring for her sister, making sure I ate, etc. My heart is with you.
