> Janice, Any reason you are trying to come off Ativan now? New jobs are stressful and I'd suggest to wait until you have made the adjustment to your job and then taper off with your doc's approval. Anxiety can manifest itself as a symptom of depression, but if things were working well before, do not try to fix it.

> S. SuggsYes, you are right. I was seeing a medical doctor, who doesn't like me being on both Ativan and Dexedrine. So I thought well I'll get off Ativan and continue with the Dexedrine. One of my major symptoms of ADHD is not being able to go to sleep and not being able to get up easily.
I've made an appointment tomorrow with the psychiatrist for more Ativan. If I do decide to stop taking Ativan, it will be once I am comfortable with my new position, am in a good routine, and I'll do it more slowly.
I'm certain these anxiety attacks are withdrawal symptoms of coming off the Ativan too quickly. Thanks for your caring words. Janice.
