nooriginalcontent replied to your link “i'm fucking sleepy and fuck moral panic about over-prescribing doctors”
Yep. I have panic attacks and was prescribed 20 sublingual ativan tablets with no refills back in February. I ran out at the end of April and am too scared of being labelled "drug seeking" to ask for more. Panic attacks during exams it is, I guess.
its an awful feeling. honestly? if not for weed i’d probably have run out too.
but... self medicating with ~illegal~ drugs isn’t an option for everyone.
the funny thing? i literally finally went to the doctor about my anxiety after noticing that i’d starting to drink a lot more. i was especially drinking to manage my anxiety.
so i’m like... ok? so becoming an alcoholic is better than using ativan?
like. sure. i’d prefer to not be addicted to anything. but... i also like *not* shitting my pants in public.
