Ativan And Klonopin( Rivotril) Panic Atack Or Withdrawl Posted: 03-18-06 16:42pm
Ive been having anxiety and atacks for 6
months now about 2 months ago I started
taking ativan.I took a 0.5.I took it for a
buot a month skipping it one day or 2,near
the end taking halfs.I went to see the dr
cuz I was scared to get addicted he gave
me rivotril(klonopin) now going with the
tendenci to take half I continued taking
half .Half last sunday and monday..Monday
I dint take any as I was feeling
better,wesnday I felt it coming on late so
I took one and thursday and friday I felt
relativly good besides at work( that
feeling of needing to get out).Now at 3 am
friday or I guess saturday I wake up
sweaty thiking oh oh is this withdrawl
then at 8 I the morning same thing but a
little more sweaty and more panicky so I
tok it ,it kicked in after half an hour.
But now im left wondering im addcited
aftre 2 months was it withdrawl or a
simple axiety attack.I mean ive ben taking
the lowest dose once a day and even at
that the last 2 weekd most the time
breaking that lowest dose in half..What do
you think my dr said it cant but who knows

hey its ok.... Posted: 07-08-08 16:15pm
I've been taking rivotril for 2 years then
I stopped becuz my doctor told me to
eventually ween myself off it, it's not an
addictive pill I think, depending on the
amount you take, I started out taking a
half a pill every night and now iv been
taking it for the past 2 years just a
quarter 1/4 and that has kept my panic
attacks under control. if you take a 1/4
every morning it should relax you during
the day and eventually keep your attacks
under control. you wont be on such a large
dose of the rivotril, and you will feel
better. I did it that way. of course you
have to stick with doctors orders. We all
deal with attacks diferently then others,
so follow your docs advice. you'll be fine
hang in there.
