So, did you call? What did they say? Where you are is so familiar to me!! I went through similar things with my alcoholic first husband. I had to spend a couple of days in the hospital (where I was also given Ativan) to get through it. I wouldn't call Ativan a mild benzo. A benzo is a benzo in my book and I believe they should only be given to inpatients. They are basically alcohol in a pill. Please get rid of the Ativan and get some real professional help!!
Love and hugs,
Eddie
