I agree with the doctor that getting off Ativan is best. I was on it for a time, as well as another benzo. They are bad for you long term. Your instinct to get off them is spot on but it's not easy if you're been on them a while. I got off by ...

I am a severe insomniac and I use CPAP. It is extremely hard for me to go to sleep without something to put me out which is currently Lorasepam/ Ativan.. My dr wants me off of it because of my age 68, because it can lead to dementia in people over my age, plus it is highly addictive. I've tried ...

... than apneas, although I am not able to see them in oscar because they don´t seem to trigger/the sleep problems I am currently having. I took 0.5 ativan at night (i know is bad for apnea) and eutirox. Nothing more. But I also have a goiter with nodules that my sleep doctors believe could be the ...

... help with "brain repair" (unknown which part of your brain needs repair). Other information you have and we don't: How long have you been taking Ativan? How often do you take it? How long have you been on CPAP? What was the diagnosis that lead to the prescription of CPAP? Who prescribed or who ...

... it. Now it’s at under 1. Any idea what could be going on here? Please disregard the 5 AHI in this screenshot. It jumped up to 5 after I took an Ativan and went back to sleep in the middle of the night. Those wave forms look choppy.

... then, but a decentization plan is established. It's quite challenging but getting better now than before when our son was just on 6-10mg/day of ativan in March (excited catatonia suspected). A new psychiatrist intends to get him off the meds completely by gradual taper (ativan first). Hoping ...

... but my observation when my son was on Zyprexa was that his OSA sounded considerably worse while taking it. And together with that little bit of Ativan, did they contribute to the AHI? One wonders. See what the ENT guy has to say.

The report says 0 medication, but he was on ativan (2mg/d) and zyprexa (10mg/day). Could it explain the latency to REM?

Yup.

... I see a couple of centrals and no RERAs and it looks like OSA overall (mostly apneas and hypoapnea). The report says 0 medication, but he was on ativan (2mg/d) and zyprexa (10mg/day). Could it explain the latency to REM? https://i.imgur.com/zwhaQLx.png TcCO2 was ordered but I don't have a full ...

... I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder 2 years ago that I've been taking buspirone to help with (works great and no side effects), with ativan as needed to prevent/stop panic attacks, though I haven't needed ativan at all until starting with the CPAP therapy - I've had to take it 2x ...

I have a closed mri scheduled. Already went through it half way freaked out. They will be giving me Ativan to take before I go. I’m scared of taking it due to me having sleep apnea. I’m told it relaxes you everywhere. The “flap” is what I’m scared of blocking my airway since ...

You may not have a terrible experience. I was deathly afraid of Ativan/Lorazepam when prescribed, as I thought it would depress my breathing and I would die or something. Turns out that at the dosage prescribed, it just has a bit of a "chill the fuck out" ...

Don’t take anything ...

... events and work. My anxiety causes a bunch of physical symptoms, muscle tension, stomach issues. I've been given some anti inflammatories and more Ativan. The anti inflammatories did nothing, while the Ativan helps with falling asleep but I don't rely on it and take only if needed. Also I had taken ...

... the night with my mask on and then fall asleep somewhere around 3-4AM. The few uninterrupted nights of sleep I've had recently are when I take an Ativan, but I'm trying to not do this regularly and have started a CBT program to get my sleep back on track as I'm getting my stress and anxiety under ...
