i know this is probably minor compared to what some of you have gone through, but i feel like shit.
ive been prescribed ativan for a while and always just taken it now and again, but recently ive started taking another medication because i really needed a long term fix for my anxiety. The medication caused a spike in my anxiety while it is setting in and i took ativan 4 days in a row.
after these 4 days i find my self feeling terrible.
im having hot and cold flashes, having really bad physical anxiety symptoms, aches and pains, and flu like symptoms
all of these things seem to coincide with the symptoms of benzo withdrawal
from everything ive read previously it takes weeks for this to happen, so i figured i would be fine, but I am not.
I can take opiates for a week + in a row and not have any withdrawal but these things are kicking my ass
do you guys have any thoughts or advice on what the hell is going on?
