I am in my mid 20s and have been diagnosed with acute anxiety a few years ago. Though counciling and meds I have controlled the panic that comes with this condition. My problem is the physical chest pain . Even when I get the mental aspect under control, my physical response keeps getting too intense. I have a perscription for klonopin and ativan.
I have learned to control the mental symptoms with psychotherapy and meditation, but the physical is still a problem.
I take them only when I need them, but I have had a stomach infection that prevents me from drinking alcohol, and cancer runs strongly in my family so I do not smoke. My problem is that when I do go out with my friends to bars (Maybe once or twice a month), I want to relax and have a good time. I ask for a drink that looks like it has alcohol in it (but doesn't) and usually take a few benzos to relax and have a good time.
What are the safe limits to these drugs? (klon is 1 mg and ativan is 1 mg).
