to switch from ativan to valium is like driveing a super car ,an then a BMW mini.if you take 6mg of ativan , an swap to valium thats about 50mg of valium .to get a simular effect ,but you dont,when i was forced cold of 10mg of ativan , an taken to a gp ,he rang the hospital because ther was no way he was going to give me 90mg of valium, the settled on 40mg a day , an 40mg there an then before i shook to pieces, i was in hospital a.e 3 hour,s later with a brain meltdown.so some times swappin benzos an finding the another the same strenth is a minefield,an phillipa you say benzos make you tired but dont shift anxierty,then there working ,you carnt be tiered if you have anxierty you body wont let you.
