considering i have no knowledge of your other condition(s), however, being one who has suffered from PTSD, anxiety/panic among other things for years myself, i ask you to remember how easy it is to pick up and handle crutches (metophorically, of course) and KNOW this:
you cannot have negative THOUGHT PATTERNS and positive 'feelings'; nor can you have POSITIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS and negative 'feelings'.
peace, love and bare feet sister ; )

Question/Comment:
I have been given Ativan twice while at The Emergency room. Both times were done thru the iv and I was sent home with a supply of 30 pills. It worked. I was happy. My Therapist and Med Doctor say I cannot have it because of the other meds I am on. I just looked up other drugs used for anxiety and I am on Celexa, Klonopin, Welbuturin. Wouldn't it make since to stop 3 pills and just go to one pill.

praise be!..someone whose awake! the thing is my friend, only one script is only one income of monetary percentage for the doctor! if you have THREE scripts the doctor(s) monetary percentages of the pharmaceuticals prescribed are, however minimal, obviously greater. imagine that! please remember that your right as a patient is to have as much say over what you choose to put into your body to use for medical purposes as the doctors. if the doctors refuse, fire them. you and ONLY you, know your body better than anyone.. other than the one who created it. now, get out there and kick butt and take names sister! peace.
