I was having some really bad auras on Thursday so I took .5 mg of Klonopin (per my prescription). I felt like a grand mal was coming on, so I had my neighbor call the ambulance.
When I got to the ER, the doctor gave me 1 mg of Ativan via IV. Two days later, I have a huge rash (looks like goosebumps) going the length of my lower arm where the needle was placed. I also noticed my eyes are pretty bloodshot as well. Could this be an allergic reaction to the Ativan, or mix of Ativan and Klonopin?
I've never had this type of reaction to Ativan before, as this was the benzo I was on before switching to Klonopin. Even when they blasted me with higher doses, I didn't have this type of reaction.
*I should note that the EMT stuck my other arm but hit a valve, so no saline could get through. When the nurse tried to draw blood it was barely coming out, which is when they switched to my other arm.*
