OMG , will this ever end...
Just got done with 3 weeks of Ativan 2 days ago , also 29 days sober and 3 weeks off of Cymbalta...My head is all over, I have ringing in my ears, I can't think straight, heads pounding......Just 6 months ago, I was a normal human being...Yes, I did taper the Ativan slowly, and it was only .5mg 2X a day...

Yes, Dr. told me take .5MG as needed.. I took it as needed...Sometimes 1 time daily , sometimes twice daily..The ear ringing and dizziness are there regardless of the Ativan....Dr.s of all things is treating me for a sinus infection as well... A Lot of crud going on at one time..My heads spinning , all I can do for the last month is eat and sleep and work...

But know it does eventually get better. It took me about a month after being completely off of ativan to feel normal again. What a hellish time.

He didn't mention anything about the ears , just my sinuses.. He doesn't want to prescribe antibiotics right now since a previous Dr. gave me way to many prescriptions before , he wants everything to leave me first and see if I can get my immune system backup.
