Vicky Cornell discussed Ativan, a prescription drug her late husband Chris Cornell was taking at the time he died by suicide in May 2017, in a series of new tweets.

A fan named Tammy tweeted Vicky, “I took Ativan for 4 days, got off it immediately. I suffer for General Anxiety disorder. After 4 days, on a very low dose I was having obsessive and suicidal thoughts. If I continued who knows where this drug infused delirium could have taken me. Godspeed sweet Vicky & Talinda?.”

Vicky responded, “Thank you for sharing your story. It’s really important for people to understand every persons situation is unique- not everyone’s biochemistry is the same. We learn from each other.?Loudlove❤️”

Kimberly tweeted, “When he left, it was very triggering for me. Last remaining light. I’m on Ativan and still alive. With a history of hospitalization. Mines adjunctively prescribed to my main med. Please research and understand what patients go through.

Please understand, I’m just grateful to go to sleep and hold a job. I only take half an mg AS NEEDED! As in not daily. Psych stuff takes years to balance. Feel sad every time I look in my purse now. Miss him lots.”

Vicky responded, “100 percent with you and I’m certainly not saying don’t take this medication – I’m just saying that not every medication is for everyone. #Loudlove❤️#makechesterproud.”

Kimberly tweeted back, “No it’s not each one they can’t give like a t shirt. I’m so sorry he’s gone.”

Vicky responded, “Me too and I would give anything to bring him back but all I can do is share his story and hope that by doing so it will help save even one life.”
