I have taken ativan 1mg @ nite for sleep for years & have had no problems. Wake up refreshed with no drug effect in a.m. I have been able to be off it for months at a time & feel no craving. The MD who prescribed it stated it was not addictive & I feel I have proven that to be so. The neuro that dianoised pd 3 months ago did so becaused my left hand shook. Ihad been dx'd in 97 with essential tremors. I was started on sinemet & the more sinemet I take The more I shake. Anyone have this problem? I also tried Mirapex which make me so sick and then compton with sinemet & felt so strange. I was afraid to drive. This was my first letter but I thought I lost it when the internet loged me off I explained my sitution a little more in depth in this letter. Hope I havn't written to much.
