HI!
As most of us know Benzo's are highley addictive. Have you tried other meds like GI cocktail, bentyl, arco lase or Donnatel for your gastro problem? All these are Rx"s that are mostly prescribed by a Gastroligist. As far as your anxiety, have you tried Buspar? Just trying to point you into the non addictive direction. Hope for the best for you........

I have upper digestive troubles.
bentyl is for lower GI.
arco lase, is this digestive enzymes? I have tried something like this and to no avail. :( I will give it a try again though.

I have Gastroparesis and not sure anything will help. The one drug that helps that I am unable to take because it causes Restles Leg Syndrome. I already have enough problems with that.

Buspar, well, I was on that one time. Didn't like being on it.

makinit, I appreciate your help. I think it would be best to continue on my search for a different solution. I don't like taking Atavan on a regular basis.

BTW mentalvdt, Atavan/Lorazapan are the same drug just Lorazapan is the generic for it.
