fear, and anxiety. Ativan can be used in the short-term to treat symptoms of anxiety, but it is not a long-term treatment because it is habit-forming and can lead to dependence. Treatment for anxiety disorder is not a quick fix but an ongoing process, as is the management of substance use disorder. For Ativan dependence and anxiety, managing and treating both simultaneously is essential for the best possible outcomes.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/section><\/section><\/section><\/div><\/section><\/section><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56d1211 e-con-full animated-slow e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"56d1211\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c2b4ce elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5c2b4ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anxiety disorder is actually a group of mental health conditions.

However, when anxiety is intense, overwhelming, and persistent, it may be a sign of a diagnosable anxiety disorder. This is a level of worry and stress that cannot be easily managed and that interferes with a person\u2019s ability to function normally. Generalized anxiety disorder occurs when a person feels anxious about a lot of different things, even minor, everyday issues. Other types of anxiety disorder include:<br \/><br \/><\/p><ul><li><strong>Social anxiety disorder<\/strong>. When a person has high levels of anxiety related to socializing with other people or in social situations, and avoids those situations, it is called social anxiety disorder.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Panic Disorder<\/strong>. Panic disorder causes severe anxiety reactions that are sudden and intense and even cause physical symptoms.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Phobias.<\/strong>\u00a0Specific phobias cause intense anxiety and fear with respect to specific things, like spiders or germs.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Agoraphobia<\/strong>. This is anxiety and fear related to being in a location or situation in which an individual may feel embarrassed, helpless, or unable to escape. It often causes a person to stay home, isolated.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Separation anxiety disorder<\/strong>. This is specific to children and occurs when a child has an abnormal level of worry when separated from parents or other caregivers.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Selective mutism<\/strong>. Also occurring in children, this condition causes someone to be unable to speak in certain situations, like at school.<br \/><br \/><\/li><li><strong>Other anxiety disorders<\/strong>. When a person\u2019s symptoms don\u2019t match any of the other types of anxiety disorders, the diagnosis may be unspecified or other, or it may be anxiety caused by a substance or health condition.<br \/><br \/><\/li><\/ul><p>The feeling of intense anxiety may be episodic, but for many people it persists over a long period of time. The symptoms are similar across types of anxiety disorders, even when the triggers are different. Anxiety attack symptoms include:<br \/><br \/><\/p><ul><li>Feeling on edge, nervous, restless, and tense<\/li><li>Feeling as if something bad is about to happen<\/li><li>Difficulty concentrating on anything or making decisions<\/li><li>Being unable to control feelings of worry and anxiety<\/li><li>Avoiding situations or things that trigger anxiety<\/li><li>Sweating<\/li><li>Trembling<\/li><li>Gastrointestinal problems<\/li><li>Weakness or fatigue<\/li><li>Difficulty sleeping<\/li><li>Increased heart rate and

benzodiazepines like Ativan can be prescribed to manage anxiety. Other benzodiazepines include Xanax (alprazolam) and Klonopin (clonazepam), which can be used in a similar way to Ativan but are also specifically approved to treat panic disorder. Anxiety disorders are not treated with Ativan or other benzodiazepines over the long-term, however.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>For longer-term management of an anxiety disorder, antidepressants are more useful. Benzodiazepines are problematic for longer use because they can be habit-forming and pose a significant risk that a person using them will develop a substance use disorder over time. They can also interact with other medications, putting an individual at risk for more serious side effects.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>In addition to using drugs like Ativan on an as-needed basis, and using antidepressants over the long-term, patients with anxiety disorders benefit from therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy is most often used. It helps patients learn how to use specific skills to recognize and change their anxiety symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06715b8 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"06715b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Risks of Using Ativan\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9fcbefa elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9fcbefa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"content-block\"><div class=\"padding-top-content\"><div class=\"section-content\"><p>Ativan can be helpful for some people who struggle with acute episodes of anxiety. It carries too many risks to be used over a long period of time, though. Ativan and other benzodiazepines are central nervous system depressants, causing heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, and respiration to all slow down. This has the effect of relaxation, but it also makes the drug a type of sedative.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Using Ativan can cause drowsiness and dizziness, which makes operating equipment or driving a vehicle very risky. Even trying to do something like go up the stairs can be riskier when on one of these drugs. The risks are even higher when Ativan is combined with another depressant or sedative, specifically alcohol and opioids. The combination of any of these two, or three, can cause serious impairment but also raise the risk of suffering a fatal overdose. The effect of slowing respiration can be multiplied to the point of causing breathing to stop altogether.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Common and less serious side effects of Ativan include dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating and poor coordination. More serious and less common potential side effects include difficulty speaking, shortness of breath, impaired memory, irritability, fainting, depression, apathy, and even engaging in activities while asleep. The signs of an overdose include lack of responsiveness, slowed or stopped breathing, clammy skin, cold skin, weak muscles, blue fingers and lips, and pinpoint pupils.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a132a67 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a132a67\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ativan Abuse and Substance Use Disorder\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7023fb4 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7023fb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Benzodiazepines, including Ativan, are schedule IV controlled substances as listed by the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov\/drug_chem_info\/benzo.pdf\">\u00a0Drug Enforcement Administration<\/a>. This is because of the potential for abuse and because they are habit-forming. Misusing Ativan, such as taking more than recommended or using it for a longer period of time than recommended, can lead to dependence. Even using the drug as directed, but for a long period of time, can cause dependence.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>The action of benzodiazepines in the brain makes them habit-forming. They activate parts of the brain that produce a pleasant feeling and a sense of relaxation and well-being. This acts like a reward, encouraging a person to use the drug again and again. Over time, tolerance may develop and eventually withdrawal. At this point it is very difficult to stop using the drug without help. As a schedule IV drug, the potential for causing a substance use disorder is not as high for Ativan as it is for many other prescriptions, especially opioids, but the risk is there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-70497a8 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"70497a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Managing Anxiety and Ativan Dependence\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ab4bcba elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ab4bcba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It is tempting for someone who struggles with anxiety to misuse drugs like Ativan. It feels like relief to relax and stop worrying, but using the drug is only a short-term solution, and it is not uncommon for patients to end up with two co-occurring disorders: anxiety disorder and a substance use disorder. The best solution in this situation is to address and treat both conditions at the same time. If one is addressed and the other ignored, both are likely to recur.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>Treatment for anxiety and addiction typically involves a combination of therapies and medical treatment along with holistic care, alternative therapies, lifestyle changes, family involvement and education, nutrition and exercise, and group support. These can be delivered in an outpatient setting, but residential treatment for mental health and substance use disorders gives a person a unique, safe setting in which to really focus on care and making positive changes.<br \/><br \/><\/p><p>While using Ativan is safe under the right conditions, anyone who struggles with anxiety needs to understand the risks of trying to misuse this drug. A major risk is ending up with two mental health conditions that require treatment. Instead of looking for a quick fix, it is important to get a well-rounded, holistic treatment plan to manage and control anxiety that may include medications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce9b5e2 e-con-full sticky-image e-flex e-con e-child\"
