Hi y'all, I've been feeling really nauseous and overwhelmed the past week or so, so I've been taking ativan in the mornings/evenings to keep myself functioning. I'm prescribed 1mg but I usually only take 0.5mg or 0.25mg at a time, because those do the trick and I don't want to waste them. I know this sounds silly because it's such a small dose but is it possible to feel withdrawal effects after a week of this dosage? I'm almost positive it's all in my head but about 12hr after I take it I start feeling nauseous and panicky again. I've experienced dependency before and am trying to avoid it — last time I was able to ride it out and stay in bed, but I really can't afford that right now since I've got 2 classes and other commitments outside the house. What should I do? I don't want to make it worse by taking upwards of 1mg consistently, but I can barely eat/talk/function right now. (please someone tell me I'm okay)
