I at least had to apologize to those I offended before I offended more! Just the right thing to do...

https://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-...ansideeffects/

Adverse Reaction Reports Filed with the US FDA: There have been 2,727 adverse reactions reported to the US FDA in connection with Ativan.

The FDA estimates that less than 1% of all serious events are ever reported to it, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher.

How does a guy with no intention to kill himself before taking extra medication know how to hang himself with a carabiner and to do such a great job of it? From the sounds of it he had the noose rig set up good and proper, no messing.

Perhaps he too the extra medication to lessen the anxiety of what he had been planning to do?

This is what I believe. I understand the family being devastated and questioning though. Wanting assign to blame. They're totally in shock.

What I meant was how does he do such a good job of killing himself if he never planned to? If you wantedd to act on the spur of the moment would you know to get a carabiner and band and be able to rig the rope so tight that it dented the doorframe? Chances are if you or I tried this that we'd do it wrong and collapse in a (lucky to be still breathing) heap on the floor as everything gives way.

....or she could have very well told him she wanted a divorce and was gonna take the kids and he fucking lost it after having been thru it once before---and now she pretends everything was fine.

Ativan is very common, I've known plenty of people who have been on it, I've known of dozens of people who have been prescribed it (I have a family member who worked as a hospice nurse for years), it's a very "tame" drug compared to some of the other mood stabilizers out there, it just kind of takes the edge off. I know of people who have been in very dire situations who have been on Ativan, it's not something that is strong enough that it would influence a persons decision to end their life-IMHO, now, if he was on something else then that's another story but Ativan by itself? I don't think so.

some of those drugs are very strong, they can turn you into a virtual zombie but Ativan isn't one of them, at least not in my experience and like I have a decent amount of experience with it, unless he was taking some ungodly amount it should have just been mellowing him out a bit

*I'm asking a doctor friend of mine right now (via text) about Ativan and suicide.....I'm not trying to sound like an expert or anything....

I tend to agree with you on this:
Many years ago I was fighting with a girlfriend as we drove 80MPR down I-10 in Houston Tx. I got off the freeway so I could slow down because it was getting pretty intense. Up ahead we saw several cop cars on the side of the road. Now we are doing about 5MPR--everyone is looking to see what is going on--inside a tire shop with an open garage door was a guy hanging from a rope. That shit hit her and I really hard--we both realized we where in a coke and alcohol induced haze of stupidity. On the edge of insanity and be thankful we were alive. That dude that hanged himself needed no special rigging tools or exercise straps--just a rope, a wooden cross member, and a chair. Seems to me Chris must have thought about it before to rig up the scenario they are talking about.
A few years after her and I had split up--I was watching COPS on TV and there was the Houston PD on the scene of the very suicide we had driven by that day. Talk about a trip--I called her and asked if she was watching COPS--she was like "yeah,I just saw that. God we are lucky to be alive."

There was a guy on TV here last night who suggested that the average life expectancy for professional musicians is 57. Even if that's within 5 years of the truth, there's something wrong with the industry that needs addressing.

I still say something isn't right man. His wife should be suspect number one. You don't suspect your husband of being on a narcotic and not tell someone ahead of time. Atavan is the same as xanax. That shit does not cause suicidal thoughts. You aren't fucking awake to kill your self. Something ain't right man. I'm telling you.
