The autopsy showed traces of Ativan (Lorazepam) in my brother's system after his suicide. The coroner also gave me a copy of the Emerg paperwork which documented that prescription and noted his anxiety. The drug and his secret emerg visit - were small parts of a complex and hidden story which would only make some sense later.
Some sense.
Wonder what I'll conclude about DFW and IJ?
Sad. Ativan's a sleeping pill, right? If so, your bro would be another person whose fragile mental state involved sleeping troubles. Seems very common.
ReplyDeleteI have a book of poetry called "Night Thoughts." All poems to be read at night when sleep won't come. Everything from cheesy Poe all the way to some truly scary stuff...fascinating - but not a volume I pick up every night.
I was told not to take it unless absolutely needed as it is addictive. I keep a few around just in case. They work. Takes about an hour for it to kick in.
