I usually take Ativan for anxiety. Having just gotten my script filled I cannot find it. I tried explaining to the pharmacy and doctor but the insurance won't cover more. I try breathing and exercising but am still crawling out of my skin. What now ?

So is it your bottle of pills that are missing or the piece of paper?

That sucks!

need to learn how to breathe now -

NO ONE will believe you have lost it.

Save your breath.

oh I am so sorry petirrojo! Raoul is right - no one will believe you. When I do my breathing exercises I inhale (belly breathe)for 4 seconds, hold my breath for 4 seconds, then exhale slowly for at least 4 seconds or more. I've heard that it takes 5 minutes of this pattern for your body to get the message (that YOU are in charge) and for your breathing to get more regular. It is going to be tough without your Ativan. What did you get? a 30-day supply? Also try chamomille tea to relax. I'd like to hope that you'll work this out someway and maybe be able to get even a small amount of Ativan if not a whole new 30-day supply. Keep posting whenever you need to so we can help you through this.

people have replaced clonazepam with holy basil tea. and ativan is what clonazepam is just works faster. a therapist spoke on this in this city recently and her clients are much happier with the holy basil. the capsules are far less helpful than the tea though. im never going back to ativan or clonazepam now that i have found this stuff

its not just any tea. it is a tea people use in india a lot. and is specific to anxiety relief. its found in health stores or online

and maybe you will find it your script
