Sad story all around, but although he was a singer of recognized talent, he had been fixated on the thought death for years.

Yes, let’s blame the medicine. Blame the doctor. But let’s not blame the person or their lifestyle which are the real culprits.
Chris looked to be in a state of desiccation, and physical deterioration.
Ten years ago he looked far healthier. Sometimes our physical status is reflected in our psychologic status.
In other words, sometimes you look exactly as you feel inside.
Atavin.. or two? Those things are powerful. My wife took them one time before a dentist visit to remove the anxiety. She took 2 and it was like she had drunk a bottle of vodka.
Sounds like some strong stuff for anxiety disorder. He should have been on a weaker benzo IMHO. I have relatives who take valium and Xanax and it seems to help with anxiety without these side effects.
The dosage is one (1) 0.5mg tablet no less than eight hours apart. My prescription of 20 tablets was filled last August, and I just took the last one about two weeks ago prior to a visit to the dentist.
I did request a refill, and was able to get one, however, where I used to get 20 tablets at a time, this latest Rx was only for 10 pills.
Folks, Ativan (lorazepam) is extremely, extremely additive for many people. total addiction can occur within a week. Attempts to stop taking it cold-turkey at that point can result in seizures that will kill you. Ativan is a high potency, low half-life drug that requires you to take it every four hours to prevent the seizures. it takes a year to wean of of it using slowly tapered doses of Valium (diazepam), which if a low-potency, long half-life drug.
Lorazepam should be outlawed, but whatever you do, don’t take Ativan or let anyone you care about take it. Ativan consumption is like play Russian Roulette.
DRUGS, AGAIN.
