Panic attack...meds "break" sobriety streak?
I just had a really bad anxiety attack, and have actually been having them for the last 2 weeks. It's been terrible. I have some lorazapam that was given to me in March after my last ER visit. I'm considering taking one if I have another episode, but I don't want to break my sobriety streak. What do you guys think? These were given to me by the ER doctor and the label says to take "as needed". I don't have any desire to "get high"...I just want to feel normal. When I have an anxiety attack it feels like a heart attack...extremely unpleasant.
I want to get in to see my doctor to address this ASAP (I've been on zoloft + xanax before for depression/anxiety), but it's friday 4:55 PM and of course he's not there. I just called. He's going on vacation for 2 weeks.
*shakes fist*
Would taking the lorazapam constitute breaking my continuous sobriety?
