Thanks Nelly! I'm using Xanax which is similar to Ativan. I'm not taking much of it, maybe one .5 mg pill a day, usually at night, sometimes though I need one during the day but other times I don't need any! I've taken it on and off for the last couple of years. I'm definitely taking a LOT less of it now than I was in January, I was taking 4-5 .5mg pills a day! I've been trying to lay off the Vicodin as well, I've been averaging about one a day, usually I take it just before I leave the office so I can eat dinner and relax without being in screaming agony. My doc ok'd two a day but I try not to take that much but sometimes I just gotta. I think if I wasn't having to deal with all this physical pain, I'd be able to deal much better with the mental pain but I'm just feeling wore down right now. Thanks for the much needed hugs!
