ive been off ativan for 2 weeks now, they put me on amitrptolyne for anxiety or depression. only 25mg at bedtime, the breath hunger is still there, almost give up already on even goin to drs. wemnt in by ambulance sat all my veins were poopin ot, had one on my forehead and that scared the crap out of me. if it wasnt for the breathlessness i would feel better although i get tired easy. they did chest xray and that was clean. took blood and am still waitin on thyroid cuz it runs in my fam, i myslef dont think tis that, i feel its in teh lungs, feels like when i breathe in my lungs fill up to quick and breathe out that there isnt enough air comin out. i go to specialist next fri for another pulmanary test and to see what he thinks it could be. i had the breathlessness before the pills. ive been havin attacks out of a sleep for 10 yrs, maybe once every 2 months, somenites i was up all night walkin the floors and others i took a glass of water and went right back to bed. well i hope they find somethin out soon, wonder if the puffers could have done any harm. took flovent for 2 weeks and was on ativan at same time. i have had 3 perscriptions of 1mg ativan and been off that since beginnin of may felt better when i took it but am gettin off everything all together, i have never abused the use of ativan ever. i still say its somethin to do with the lungs, i am out of breathe 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. i do agree with u i went to a banquet sat and had 3 beers and that helped, the next day i wasnt out of breathe, then day after was right back again. melissa
