Can switching from 15to 20mg of valim to ativan 6-8mg cause withdrawal? Thanks Love Phillipa

I don't see how that could happen since 6-8mg Ativan = ~60-80mg Valium, but your situation is more complicated given that you recently quit Luvox which increases blood plasma levels of benzos, so it's possible you were actually used to having much more than 15-20mg of Valium circulating in your blood. Don't forget to factor in the Lunesta and Xanax you were also taking, and also that Luvox has withdrawal symptoms of its own.

I don't know what you mean Phillipa but I'm sorry if I've hurt your feelings in some way. Could you explain how I did that?

> You hurt my feelings a lot.
Keeping in mind that the idea here is support and not posting anything that could lead others to feel accused or put down, would you please rephrase the above?
If you or others have questions about this or about posting policies in general, or are interested in alternative ways of expressing yourself, please see the FAQ:

The section on using "I" statements to express your feelings likely would be helpful.Namaste
