That is what the dr at the hospital has me on for my anxiety. It mellows me out, but then I don't feel like doing ANYTHING but sleeping or jut sitting in a very quiet spot. With an 11 year old at home I can't do that. I have not taken it for a few days. I actually got to some cleaning yesterday that I have really neglected for the last couple of weeks.
He also has me on Paxil CR and Provigil (which is supposed to help stimulate me into action and doesn't help very much) I would hate to see how I am on just the Ativan without the provigil. I have run out of my Paxil and provigil 'script, and can't get it refilled for another couple of days.I have been out for almost a week and a half.
While in the hospital the dr gave me Zyprexa for one day, but said he didn't want to over load me with meds, would that help if I was on that as well, with my concentration and lack of energy?? I have an appointment with a general practicioner tomorrow, that is the earliest I can get to a prescribing dr for the next two months, so I need to know what to ask him, this is the first time I have been to this dr and I don't know if he will stay with thte original dr's prescrips, or what, I am so scared that The 11 days in the hospital is going ot be for nothing , if I can't get the meds I need.
I still feel very alone and depressed, I have just recoiled into myself very badly since DH left to go to Tn to work. I am really scared about where I am heading. I know I would never consciencly hurt DD or myself, but with my state of mind lately...... I don't know how long I can hold out. I am in AL by myself, the people who I thought was my freinds havn't called ,not once, since I have been home from the hosptial on the 10th. So that really makes my upset. and then with the money problems and the car problems, I just can't see a light.....
help me please???? somebody?? I am alone and I can't breathe.....

Hi, Diana! I am sorry to hear that you aren't able to relax. Have you looked in our new *tips & tricks* folder? The breathing exercise works the best for me. You need to practice even when you feel ok, so that it becomes second nature when you really need it. It does contribute to our anxiety to feel so breathless, but you will be fine. You must be getting enough oxygen, as you're thinking clearly & typing ok. Remind yourself of that.
