Anon has personal experience with these types of drugs unfortunately having taken roughly 10 different ones over a decade. Went to a doctor in the early 90's after having panic attacks. Never should have been on anything but didn't know any better and trusted him to take the fear away. One of the dominant ones I took for the 10 years was Xanax and it was a fairly large dose daily. This is in the same family as Ativan. In fact Ativan can be used to taper Xanax due to its longer half-life. (She was on 1/2mg of Ativan a day.. the Xanax equivalent to that is 1/4mg. I was on 3mg of Xanax a day which is around 12 times more than she was on.) Decade later I got off after horrendous withdrawal that left me damaged to this day. The Ativan more than anything subdued her actions and anxiety making her more 'flat' personality wise though she was on a small dose. It could have affected her judgement but the drug she was on that stands out to me was one of the other ones I took for a time. Lexapro the anti-depressant. This drug has the potential to really change who a person is depending on who takes it. I'm still shocked looking back at how different my behavior was. Impulsive, aggressive, abusive, apathetic. Combine this with the flat-lining effect of Ativan and it can create a monster who really cannot see as a regular 'human' what they are doing wrong. I know most anons here know what these drugs do to people I just wanted to give the slightest testimony to confirm what they do to people because I've been there. I'm grateful to this day I'm not in jail honestly given how impulsive I was in doing stupid things. It's literally like being possessed by the drugs. Everyone judges her for being a demon but if she truly was on those drugs it was the demon that acted in her.
