A member asked:
Ive been taking ativan everyday starting from 0.5mg everyday to 1mg or sometimes one and half mg and now 2mg a day for the past month am i at risk for dependancy now? its for my high anxiety ive been having till i get my meds fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dependency can be physical/emotional or a blend of both. Some drugs are more likely to have withdrawal symptoms than others, signaling physical dependency. For some the emotional need is enough to make coming off as bad. Working with a life coach/therapist to learn stress management can help someone wean off anxiety control meds.
