day #7
day #7
I finally made it 7 days. But..I feel like I cheated. My doctor put me on ativan and its helped tremendously. I dont plan on taking it anymore though because after taking 0.5 mg twice a day for 3 days I decided to take a break (not supposed to take it all the time bc of the addictive nature) so I didnt take any yesterday, I woke up this morning with a massive panic attack so I took .05 mg this am but refuse to take anymore. Im suffering through so major anxiety today but... I havent been drinking!
One week is fantastic Erin!
I took Ativan when I was withdrawing from alcohol, and am still sober almost two years later. Keep doing whatever you need to be successful!

Thanks. I just started on lexapro too and I hear its common to have increased anxiety in the beginning. Im just so worried about getting hooked on anthing else. I feel like im losing my damn mind though. Ugh..

Ativan helped get me through an anxiety attack coupled with withdrawals that landed me in the ER. After the first three days I only took a quarter pill when my anxiety level was out of control. That started in March and I rarely take it anymore.
That said...I don't think it's cheating either. I had a hard time with accepting that as well. Nice job on your seven days!!
