Okay, I don't know if you guys know but as a teenager I was diagnosed with OCD. I sort of "grew out of it" but it's usually paired with depression and anxiety. Lately I've been having some symptoms of depression, pretty mild and the occasional anxiety attack. Fairly mild. But every time I go to see my pcp we talk about how I'm doing from a mental health view. Every time I go she writes me a prescription that she knows that I won't fill. But last time she wrote me a script for zoloft and ativan. I've been on zoloft before and I had a bad reaction so she lowered the dosage. I also had an extremely bad reaction to xanax so that's why she gave me the ativan. I actually filled them (which sort of scares me) but I don't plan on taking either one until I find out whether or not I'm preggers. But just some quick questions... has anyone ever been on ativan before? If so did you experience any side effects? What were they?

Just a note, I'm not supposed to take the ativan every day because it's in the same family as the xanax, I'm only supposed to take it when I'm feeling panicky.
