I was prescribed Ativan for Anxiety on April 23rd, and I took it as needed (not more than 0.5 mg) until I saw MY doctor in May, who prescribed me Cipralex (SSRI), and said that I could continue Ativan just for the time the SSRI kicks in. But as I said, after 3 days on the SSRI, I started hallucinating (I didn't take Ativan that day, but I think I did the other 2 days).
So I stopped the SSRI, and continued on Ativan for a while (not every day, and never more than 0.5 mg).
About 2 weeks after hallucinating on the SSRI (and after slowed down the Ativan), I started to have the visuals... So I completely stopped Ativan too. It's now been 6 weeks since I took my last Ativan. And I still have all the visuals... I'm afraid it's going to stay forever...
