So about 2 years ago, I didn’t really understand the dangers of combining ativan with alcohol. I’m really happy i’m still alive now.
in 2017/2018 I would take 1.5 mg ativan and in 2018 i started drinking heavily on it.
It wasn’t everyday, just during work as i work in entertainment.
i definitely blacked out a few times, found myself in dangerous situations, but after realizing the combo was the cause, i just took ativan alone.
i took no ativan during covid (since i couldn’t work) but i’m back at work now and just take .5 mg of ativan 3x a week before my shifts for anxiety, however it’s not uncommon i’ll have a 1-5 shots with coworkers or a seltzer on a less social night.
with that amount i’ve never blacked out and i’ve been fully coherent, but i still really really worry, so how dangerous is this?
i also have gabapentin which i’ve taken 200 mg for anxiety for, but i’ve never drank on it. is this a safer alternative? i’m just in a place where i don’t wanna give up my lorazepam for anxiety or my alcohol for recreational, but the worry of something bad happening has gotten to me after an appointment w my therapist lol. any thoughts?
