All day iv felt like crying like a baby but i dont know if its my health issues or my medicine or both.I have ativan but because my heart rates not to high tonight only 93 im not sure i should take one as dont want it to go up but im so anxious and depressed.
2036568 tn?1330482758 =( My anxiety and panic was out of control. Finally got a decent doctor who would actually care enough to try and help me. They gave me some IV fluids and some Ativan. He is also doubling my Effexor XR to 150 from 75. I am still on Buspar too. He also sent me home with some Ativan as a PRN. So here's hoping something will work! This pregnancy has me feeling like I am going to lose my mind. Here's hoping and praying!
Avatar f tn You wrote"gave me ativan05 perscription but iv only taken 1 a night later when i felt kinda anxious and i feel i need one now but im not sure it wouldent make my heartrate higher so i feel like i dont know what to do" Can you call a pharmacy now to check on the use of ativan? I am not a pharmacist, but I don't think ativan will hurt your heart. It was prescribed for you to help relax you which would make it easier on your heart.
Avatar f tn m stressed but the last 3weeks iv been getting chest pains a lot nearly all the time iv got docs on the 5th to get some help because iv never hade help iv tried doing it my self but I feel like its getting to a bad bit coz the chest pains rly scear me I feel like I'm having a heart attack.
Avatar f tn This is because their heart can go into fatal rhythms and be fatal. Ativan will help with the shakes but they should really be given IV fluids with vitamins, a heart monitor, librium, etc. Good luck and God bless.
Avatar n tn ok Thursday I had seizure went to er they gave me Ativan iv I have paperwork that proves this but the next day I was having chest pains and had to go to er they made me do urine test ? so I am wanting to know will it show up as illegal drug make me test positive ?
Avatar f tn I will begin my 4th round of chemo tomorrow. I receive IV Taxol on day 1, IP Cisplatin on day 2 and IP Taxol on day 8. I handle bothTaxol treatments really well. I receive premeds of steroids, Zophran, Benadryl, Tagament and Ativan. I am very lucky because the following day after getting both Taxol treatments I do not need to take any nausea meds. I get admitted to the hospital for my IP Cisplatin for over night infusion of fluids.
Avatar f tn I have been taking 1 mg of ativan about 30 minutes before bed almost nightly for around 3 months. I'd say at least 6 out of the 7 days a week but some weeks every day. I am also on 12mg of suboxone a day for about 11 months due to a 7-8 year oxy/heroin habit. I have just never really liked benzos as a high but the doctor gave them to me cause I was having night terrors and waking feeling like I was having a heart attack.
1463437 tn?1286139865 hello, my name is matt, and i have been on ativan for about 6-7months and for 6months i was taking two 2mg tablets twice a day. about a month ago, my script ran out and i became HORIBBLY SICK the very day of. talked to my doctor and he dropped it down to 1mg a day and said i should be off in a month. that doesnt sound right to me, i know my stuff pretty well and you CANNOT suddenly stop talking benzodiazepines. i go see him on monday, two days. anything i should say??
3118706 tn?1341993854 I have many health problems. The one that is really bad right now is Gastroparsis which They can't do anything for me. last month I was in the er twice trying to stop the pain in my lower belly and the throwing up. I can handle pain, I have chronic pain in life, When I get cramps, severe cramps and they do not stop and get nauseated and sometimes can't stop throwing up. I hate that feeling. Nausea is the worse feeling there is and I have it pretty much 24 7.
4250195 tn?1351709095 I know when I was initially diagnosed with hyperthyroidism I landed in the ER with rapid heart rate and was shaking all over because of the hormones racing through my system they wanted to give me iv ativan--I stopped them and told them that I WAS NOT NERVOUS that I did not need ativan--that the beta blocker worked for this so they gave me the beta blocker intravenously and it stopped the shakes and the rapid heart rate.
1132574 tn?1271672466 My anxiety kicked off about a month ago before my check up with my primary, but it went really nuts this time for some reason. I take Ativan .25-.50 Ativan when anxiety is bad. Try hard not to take it every day. Even with that, I am having trouble staying asleep. I fall asleep ok, then wake up at random times all anxious. Once my anxiety starts I get all jittery & its downhill from there. . .Do any of you have any recommendations for what to do when this happens?
429647 tn?1249753429 I have not been able to tolerate IP chemo, I had once cycle and got so sick, I have had a cycle of IV (taxol/carbol) and tolerated that okay. I want to give the IP another chance but very hesitant. Does any one have some suggestions on how they managed with IP. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! Iv been taking celexa for the last four years for depression and anxiety and my doctor wants me to try Cymbalta as my celexa is no longer working and I have been suffering from pain that they believe is nerve related. Iv ready alot of reviews on this drug and not sure if its something I want to take, then again, iv read really good reviews on it. Anyone out there ever taken this drug and if so how was your experience with it.
Avatar m tn On 2nd day in hospital sent to ICU and put on a vent going through detox. steady IV drip removed and now ativan is given every 4 hours as needed. Day 12 still on vent, still showing signs of agitation at times, how long will this last? 2 weeks on a vent, restrained to a bed. Anyone have similar experiences or can offer an medical advise. I thought things would improve after 10 days, off vent, able to communicate, but it seems their has been very little improvement.
Avatar n tn Dont really know except ativan is a fast release drug valium is a slower release. but both ativan and valium should only be used short term, I have been on atiban for over 30years and it has ruined my live, but I an stuck with it now has I cant face withdrawel.
Avatar m tn During the course of this treatment, I was on many various painkillers, including Percocet, Vicodin, Oxycontin, (IV)Dilaudid, Duragesic Fentanyl Patches, and (IV)Morphine once, mostly, though, I was on Vicodin 7.5/750.
Avatar f tn I was also on Ativan. Could this have affected the results? I am now off the Ativan. Doc had to give me remeron to replace it for sleep. I took to the remeron fine. I take 15mg a night. I would like to do another spect scan to see if there are any changes. would it be worth it? Thanks for your help. I am really scared about all of this. I haven't been the same in almost 2 years. everything I am experiencing came on suddenly, yet all my blood levels/tests/ mri's , etc... are normal....
Avatar f tn t help my anxiety basically had no effect so they perscribed me 1mg ativan 3x a day the ativan does help a bit but I find I have to take more then 3 to make it work for me all day, but my real question is about my heart, is it just my anxiety causing my heart problems or does anyone else think I may have a problem my heart rate when waking up in the morning is usually around 78-90bpm as soon as I stand up it shoots up to about 100-110 bpm and usually doesn't come back down it'll jump dow

1351229 tn?1277518670 WHen I take 0.5 mg of Ativan it takes the pressure away but I cant take that forever. I started taking Lexapro 2 days ago and the pressure now turned into a weird headache..
Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 33 yr old Female and I have been having chest pain (directly in the center of my chest and then radiates out) with nausea, shortness of breath and sweating, since June 2009.I also get a jumping, squeezing feeling. I have been to the Emergency room on five different occasions. Each time I go, the do an EKG and say that its normal.
Avatar n tn t tell you ativan is the boogey man, it helps and you do seem to have an awareness about using it. Ativan is a Benzodiazipiem<sp and it has dangers like most drugs out there. Particularly withdrawing from them, causes seizures in heavy usages. I think in most cases you should listen to your doctor. If you don't trust your doctor you should consider finding a new one. Good Luck....
Avatar m tn I as well have taken both Xanax and Ativan. I personally feel that the Ativan is better. I do not take it often. Only when I am having an attack coming. The biggest difference I felt in the two medications was that with Xanax, I woke up very groggy still not much calmer. Ativan I do not wake up groggy and I actually am relaxed. I think you would benefit from trying it. IF you do not care for it than either ask to be put back on Xanax or a different one all together. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Am off Fentanyl pops for over a year, now stuck on 12=16mg of ativan a day. WTF am I doing?
