Ok, i take 3 mg of Ativan (lorazepam).
I have never had the biggest reaction to it before, i was having a manic panic attack at some Restaraunt called Crackel Barrel.
It got intense, i had to go to the bathroom i was soo hot, when i looked, my vains bULGED out and eyes where as SUPERred. i pased this small little room getting very uncomfortable with this old custodian working on the crappy toilets, every sound took me off the wall. I went and sat in a stall acting like i was constipated or something since i was in there so long, but i couldnt help, i kept standing up ducking, plus no air conditioning, i had it, i was out of there, worsened from the toilet fumes.
I took 2mg of Lorazepam, that didnt do ANYTHING.
I got down laid down in my bed, and started jerking bad, getting up feeling the intense adrenaline in my abs, i cannot say how miserable this was. I couldnt take i took 2mg more Lorazepam, it didnt help i had a migrane and the adrenaline sucked that lorazpeam like a hoover vacuum.
I almost called ER at this point, i couldnt stop laughing and rolling on the floor then jumping up screaming.
I cleaned the sink faster than dexedrine.
I couldnt take it, i took 6MG OF LORAZPEM MAKING THAT 10MG!
this was just a minor relief, i slowed down but it took approximatly 1:42 hours and mins to degenerate the massive amount of what ever nuerotransmitter that had done.
I still felt it, but it was suppressed, it could comeback after it breaks down the lorazepam.
what the hell is wrong with me.
I am going in to my doctor again, and well explain this again, i hope i dont go off in the office, becuase when it happens i look like im high methamphetamine dose.
Tell me

What this is called is "lorazepam is not helping the problem you have". Please consult with a doctor and/or try a different medication.
Ativan I don't even think is metabolized; I think it is just excreted in a nice linear fashion. Anyone verify this?

hello,
a couple days ago when i posted that, i was really not with reality, it was worse than panic, it could of been combination of both. Panic and mania.
I am just now moved up to 2mg Twice daily. If this doesnt work, he said he's considering alternate medications.
I hardly had any energy going into the office i couldnt explain myself, i thrusted once or twice but i was frustrated becuaes of held back communication.
Im sorry, i didnt know what to do that night, i just posted what happned.
Good day

Hi,

AFAIK, it's conjugated with glucuronic acid in the liver and then excreted in the urine.
