She told me that ativan has a longer 1/2 life than xanax so it stays in the system longer but takes longer to work than xanax which has a shorter 1/2 life so it goes out of the system longer. She is not a fan of klonopin, xanax or ativan but gave it to me because she knows I'm going through a hard time. She hopes that as we up

Thx for the update, Danielle. I am glad to hear that you had a good session. I will try hard to make it to chat tonight. I am in a mess, here. I got a letter from my pdoc & she's moving her practice to another town. It is a doable distance. About 50 miles, but as you know, that's really pushing my limits. Keep a seat warm. LOL (((hugs))) jan

Danielle,
I am happy that you had a good session that must've helped a lot.
Well at least she gave you something to help with your anxiety.
Does the lithtium work the same as the other meds, that it takes a while to get into your system and you have to slowly increase?

Instead of taking the kids with you could you do a phone session? Geeze I wish I lived closer and could help you..

((HUGS))
