How about listen to your fucking doctor instead of strangers on the internet. If you get serious side effects from the meds, then discuss them with a medical professional to find a solution.
You're only going to really notice withdrawals if you take it daily
How about you go fuck yourself and grow up? You fucking pussy with your pussy-ass panic attacks.
Speak with your doctor, taking medicine without following a doctor's instructions could be harmful to your health

I would advise against long-term benzodiazepine use. They can cause all kinds of memory issues and even cognitive impairment. I use benzos on an as needed basis and try to deal with most of my panic attacks using relaxation techniques and analyzing thought distortions using CBT methods. A panic attack has to be pretty severe before I'll finally take my emergency benzo that I keep in my pocket.

As for withdrawals specifically, you have to be using them long term for that to happen.
Have you guys always had panic attacks or did it start at a certain age or following a traumatic event? Ive experienced mild anxiety when i smoke reefer sometimes and it sucks.
Hey op, no one is helping here so I thought I would tell you that I used to be on Ativan 0.5.
I was fine and only took it 2-3 times a week maximum. You can even take 1mg if you are having a terrible panic attack, but take more days off inbetween.
The symptoms you will feel if you are addicted to them will differ for everyone.
Ativan is one of the safest benzos. People here don't know shit. Even if you drink on them (You aren't supposed to) you will be fine.
