okay, i have to say something about this, cause i was on ativan for a few months when i was 19 and i was f***ED UP when i was on it. the doctor prescribed it for anxiety and it was the kind you put under your tongue so that it is absorbed into your system immediately and he told me to take it whenever i needed. and well... i ALWAYS needed it, so i was taking up to about eight a day. i "accidentally" overdosed about three times on it (endng up in the hospital each time) and finally i stopped taking it but only AFTER "assaulting" (which really only amounted to a bunch of sissy kicking and calling him baldy and maybe some gibberish about how i could conjure the devil) a cop, and landing in the mental hospital--whereupon when the doctor came to talk to me he was like "what are you doing here? you dont belong here" and i was like "I KNOW.....". but on the ativan i was a completely different person. i can still remember that night when i truly went crazy, it was like watching myself from above, and i can remember that i wasnt in the least worried about the consequences of my actions, only curious as to how it would turn out. i imagined it's what being possessed must feel like. i've heard of people murdering people on ativan and im not at all surprised, nor would i be surprised to hear about someone killing themselves on it (it's not quite clear even to me whether my overdoses were intentional or accidental). it's a seriously dangerous drug (for some people anyway.... maybe not for all), and way more caution needs to be used in prescribing it.
