Anyone here take Ativan (Lorazepam)

Posted by rjlockhart on February 13, 2007, at 23:23:08

I was on it for a year i went up to 6mg daily for panic attacks.

2mg tablets three times daily. Think of that. Now i take Xanax 2mg when needed.

Ativan was relaxing, but it didnt really calm panic. It was relaxing the the muscles, it is a muscle relaxer i believe in some of its properties.

I havent seen anyone here talk about Ativan

Ativan was about half as strong for me as Xanax for PRN usage. For some its about the same. It has been used in hospitals to calm patients, but everyone reacts differently.

Lorazepam and ativan did the same to me. Totally relaxed me. Ativan was also used for me to combact the alcohol withdrawals.
