What ever may be the treatment you are taking you should give up alcohol with determination. Once youngive up you should maintain abstinence. Withdrawl symptoms last for 10 days after you give up alcohol. The distress is mitigated by benzo diazepines and supportive measures. My best advise is to go to a psychiatrist and you will be advised after full evaluation.

Why would you consult a neurologist for a psychiatric issue? Stick with your medicine or see some other psychiatrist.
Best is you go for psychotherapy sessions online or in person and get a hang on your anxiety by learning how to deal with it.

Hi,
ativan is a potent anti-anxiety medication, but it is highly addictive and difficult to quit especially after prolonged use. Self-medication is always risky and can be hazardous. So, it is in your best interest if you consult a nearby psychiatrist and discuss for safer alternatives of ativan and if ativan needs to be taken, it should be taken under a psychiatrist's supervision.

Hello lybrate-user
your doctors advice is right
ativan and lonazep both are benzodiazepines which cause dependence. Meaning you can get addicted to them.
In the long term the addiction will result in memory disturbances, gait disturbances etc which you must avoid right now.
Reduce it slowly over two months but do reduce it.

Why change? continue the same if it is under control. But, you definitely have to start on antiplatelet drugs since you are a diabetic in order to protect the heart. You definitely should lose weight. You are atleast 20 kg overweight.

You are having benzodiazepine dependence, since you might not be able to sleep without ativan tablets. BZD dependence in long run may cause mixed anxiety and depressive symptoms, which may also lead to disinterest in sex. Please get yourself treated for both. Consult personally for a treatment plan.
