My friend has gone through acoholic withdrawal, including a seizure. He was sober for two months, then started drinking again. Has been drinking for maybe a week. He began throwing up and was taken to ER. He was treated, released,a nd they sent him home with Ativan prescription to help with withdrawal symptoms. Instructions were 3 x a day, for 4 days. He had has two doses today, and has been asleep for most of the day . Should I give him the 3rd dose for today? He had first dose at 10am, then around 2 pm. Don t want to overdose him, but also don t want him waking up in Middle of the night needing it.
