I do this when I can. About once a month I'll get my hands on an a ativan or two and take a half at a time. This keeps me from getting too deep into my depression.

 @db32f0c5 I looked it up and it's Lorazapam, which I think (I might be wrong) my husband was once prescribed. I wonder if he has any left.

Be aware that you want to try a half or less. And they are addictive and that ends up making matters worse. My husband had like 80 when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and he only took a couple. They lasted me 4 years as I'm very careful about addiction. I used them as an emotional vacation from the debilitating grief/depression. Don't go anywhere or do anything, just relax on the couch or bed and enjoy not feeling like shit for awhile. I'm not a doctor, just sharing what works for me. If you've not tried medical marijuana that might be a better, safer option for you.

 @db32f0c5 Thanks for your advice. As it turns out my husband wasn't prescribed them so I have no way to get them, which is probably a good thing.
