Adverse reaction to Ativan?

Hey all,

I posted here a while back but had since been doing well. Until this week........About a 5 day bender.

Checked myself in to the ER (intoxicated) with a very elevated heart rate and anxiety. They gave me Ativan and I eventually blacked out. I 'came to' roughly 24 hours later with faint memories of hallucinations, ripping out my iv's, and very serious confusion. Couldn't walk or remember where I was for 2-3 days.

I am 25 and do not get drunk EVERY night. Could this be my first episode of DT or possibly just a reaction between the drugs and alcohol?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
