Need Advice on Switching From Xanax to Ativan
Written by rob on Tuesday, August 8th, 2006 in order xanax, xanax, xanax prescription, prescription drugs.
I have been taking xanax for three months. I did not take this for a feeling of euphoria but for real anxiety. I took 1 Mg of Xanax per night for three months. I could not afford to go to a doctor and Xanax helped me sleep and it helped my panics stop. I do not consider myself an addict because I needed this medication but could not afford to go to a doctor. I just got insurance so I went to my doctor, he prescribed me Ativan. I did not tell him that I’d been taking the Xanax for three months. Will just switching to the Ativan be alright? Will I first need to detox from the Xanax? I know they are both Benzodiazapams (spelling?) Is this going to be a problem?
Where can I get advice on switching please?
