Hi all. Well, I take 0.5 mg Ativan sometimes to help me sleep at night. My main problem is that I sometimes have very frequent urination,and it can be the only thing to help me sleep when I have this. But I had a bad cold last week where coughing was keeping me up at night, and I took the ativan for about 8 days in a row. I then skipped it wednesday night and took it again last night. Now, I am going with my husband and son to visit his family for the next few days, and I normally take Ativan while im there because I have trouble sleeping away from home, and things are just more difficult and stressful while im there. Anyway, my point is, that after this trip I will have been taking 0.5 mg Ativan pretty much every night for about 2 weeks. Is this long enough to have trouble stopping the ativan and cause insomnia if I dont take it? I really hate to take it for so long but for certain situations its the only thing that works to help me get sleep. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks everyone!

If you want to remain free from its prison, stop now and save it only for panic, ans get on something less addictive for sleep. The benzos are extremely hard to get off, none of us ever want to until it is too late, They work too well. Id be surprised if you can willingly give them up already. if you can, do so !!! Hugs, Katy
