Believe it or not I do not use much profanity in day to day life. I usually avoid it. I think I just use it here to emphasize parts of my quit. The money I've spent in my lifetime to give myself a dead mouth just brought that one out. cowboy
I've been using a lot of profanity I just can't help it right now this shit is pissing me off! I went to the doctor after work because my neck felt like it was going to break off my shoulders. He told me to take alieve and also proscribed me Ativan to help with the quit? After I got the prescription and read the side effects online I threw that shit out. I don't need that crap. Idiot fucking Doctor
Ativan, I've had that before.
About a year ago, I tried to quit on my own, made it about 7 days. I broke down after a jiu jitsu tournament, I was so exhausted and I felt I "deserved" a dip, you know, just this one time.
Well, I finished that can the next day and then I decided to quit again, before the nic bitch got too strong. About 2 days into that stop, I was driving on the interstate and I was having symptoms of shortness of breath, chest tightness, nausea, sweating etc.
The symptoms were getting so serious, I started thinking that I was having a heart attack. I pulled over and called 911, EMTs arrived and took me to ER.
By the time I arrived at the ER, I was honestly feeling like it was game over. I thought I was dying. I was almost convulsing.
Well, they hooked me up to an IV, and administered Ativan.
It chilled me out, quickly.
I was relaxed in about 5 minutes.
It's usually prescribed for people with anxiety disorders, which, as I described above, can present itself while battling withdrawals.
So, I'd say avoid it if you don't absolutely need it, but if you're experiencing serious anxiety and constant worry, it might be something to consider.
I'm not a doctor, I'm just relaying my experience with it. It did help me during one of the scariest moments in my life, but I haven't taken anything else since and am now doing fine.
Quit on brother, we're quit together.
