gosh, that's a tough situation you're in.
when my anxiety was shooting up a few weeks ago I was also prescribed ativan but never took it. Pdoc said its not suppose to be addictive but I didn't want to take another med that would give me side effects and would take a long time to get outta my system. thankfully my anxiety kinda just died down over the following days and past weeks.For you I'd recommend really focusing on your anxiety. again speak w/ the pdoc again( or try another?) and let the other meds get outta your system. I guess you don't have any psychotic symptoms to be warranting a AP so no need to worry about that for now. I recommend therapy for you at this time too though. Since you mentioned the hypochondriac thing. Having someone knowledgeable to speak w/ about symptoms or things that bother you and can help you sort out your concerns and bring them back to your doctor. Or ask if you can spend extra time on your pdoc visits answering all your questions. So write them down before the appt.
but yeah take care and we're here for ya,
