Yes I would suggest you get off of ativan, a nasty little drug which I think increases anxiety when dosage increases become necessary stresses the adrenal even more! And I dont see how your md can say your dhea defisciency will cure itself without takiing remedial action. The Supplement of Dhea helped me a lot in my early days of treating my panic attacks and anxiety, I would not hesitate myself to try small dosages of it to see if it helps until you can start UT,I think in conjuction with melatonin it is even more effective!
