"i&#039;ve been using ativan for anxiety and insomnia for the last 5 or so years.  lately i have been having side effects after taking only 1-2 pills at night for sleep.  it does help me fall asleep but the next day i wake up nauseous.  and i&#039;m nauseous all day.  another weird side effect that it seems no one else has experienced is that my skin feels weird, like my fingers feel like there is a coating on them...it&#039;s hard to describe but it happens every time i take ativans.
i get no side effects like this from valium or xanax.  i hope my doctor will switch for me."
