I went to see my doctor a few days ago, i just had questions about my ridiculous stomach and my panic attacks. She doesn't think I have acid reflux, which is exciting, but she does think it ties into my anxiety. She prescribed to me something called Ativan which i had never heard of. After looking it up online, i wanted to kill her. I asked her if the drug was addictive and she said "not particularly". Turns out, it's highly addictive and I want absolutely nothing to do with it.
"Memory functioning is markedly and measurably impaired, especially the ability to store acquired knowledge into long-term memory. This memory impairment is highly relevant to students. The risk of acute amnesia is more pronounced with short-acting drugs. Ativan (lorazepam), Halcion (triazolam), Xanax (alprazolam) and Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) are especially likely to induce such memory impairment." DrugRehab.net
This doctor was recommended to my family because of how easily she gives out prescriptions, and now I have experienced this for myself. I would rather deal with my anxiety and anger than poison myself with this awful medication.
My body freaks the fuck out under stress, but i'd rather feel it than feel nothing at all.
