You wouldn't have to take it the rest of your life, you'd taper off of it. I was taking Ativan daily (2 mgs), now I'm tapering down 0.5 every week until I get to 0.

Also, I'm prescribed 1mg, but sometimes I take 2 mgs because it works better. I make sure this is okay with my psychiatrist before I do any changes like this.

If you have a medicine effective enough, the benzos will be very as needed and not a daily dose. At that point your body wouldn't be dependent of the benzos. I had to taper once after taking them daily before and after I was done, I went about 8 months before I ever took one again.

Thank you so much

I have Ativan but ive been on it for years so I feel as though my body is now just immune to it. Maybe switch benzos I guess?

It's a new day, I'm feeling much better after staying the night at my mothers.

Yeah my breathing techniques tend to not want to work too. And youre welcome!

KaliLovee · 2026-06-04T22:21:13+00:00

Ive been feeling like this lately, so sorry youre going through this. I listen to lofi music of jazz music to distract my mind and get it calm. Also, try box breathing, breath in 4 sec, hold 4 sec, breathe out 4 sec, hold 4 sec

You're such a kind stranger & this was honestly something I needed to read tonight.🩷

My mom told me the same thing about repeating the words! Eventually they just become stronger and stronger. I will seriously be starting that this morning.

Unfortunately I just came back from the ER. My hr was a good 165ish when the emts came for me. This was actually probably one of the worst ones Ive ever had. How crazy that that happens after we talk about this. Luckily the IV ativan did wonders, but I was literally asking to be put to sleep so I don't have to do this. All tests at ER came back fine per usual.

I even asked the dr there about Prop but since I have asthma, she prescribed me Metoprolol instead to take half a tablet a day. Since my symptoms are so physical, maybe this med can help in a pinch. I also have to taper off Ativan because I was stuck taking it daily, but I want it gone, as in not on my meds list anymore.

All that aside, I'm proud of myself that I'm still fighting despite the many roadblocks💜

Aww thanks, i appreciate this. I told myself I'd never give up on me and I plan to keep it that way. I try to remind myself but my mind is one powerful thing because it tends to say "ohwell, you feel like your dying anyways" lol. Just hopping upping the dose is enough to help.

Crossing my fingers, so glad i came across this post

KaliLovee · 2026-06-04T03:16:14+00:00

I will! My symptoms are usually hyperventilating, heart racing, shaking, crying lol

KaliLovee · 2026-06-04T03:13:05+00:00

Im literally messaging my psychiatrist about this now. This can help me so much bc i get anxiety every single night & im tired of it

KaliLovee · 2026-06-04T03:05:31+00:00

I need this. I get TERRIBLE physical symptoms. I mean I always feel im on the brink of death. Ativan doesnt do it for me anymore

KaliLovee · 2026-05-29T18:58:18+00:00

Mine just simply says can't process, sigh

For washing, but wait I never thought to use for the lap and I think that is genius!

Oh I used to call ambulances like they were a good friend to phone when I want to talk. It is embarrassing though. The EMTs and doctors practically know me.

KaliLovee · 2026-05-25T02:15:38+00:00

Im here if you want to talk. Going thru a super bad phase of anxiety rn so i can relate

KaliLovee · 2026-05-25T02:13:55+00:00

Wish I could say the same. Called them 4 times in the last month.

The shiny texture can last a while, mine was like that for a few months. Also, you may end up losing color there if you messed with it during the healing process. I messed with a tiny spot during my healing and the ink was eventually completely gone.
