About a week ago I experienced a somewhat traumatic event that kept me awake at night. I felt as soon as the sun went down my anxiety started to gradually rise until I had pain in my chest and was hypventilating. Nothing could calm me down or get me to sleep. I finally went to see my doctor and he gave me 10 days of Ativan. Last night was the first time I took one, or any benzo for that matter, and it was like a miracle worker. Within 10 minutes of taking one 0.5g sublingual tab it's like all the anxiety in me went out the window. I felt I still needed to control my thoughts to steer away from provoking an attack but it sincerely helped calm me down to a point where I felt safe and was able to sleep. Definitely recommend.
I was put on this drug 30 years ago ! I am on 3mg a night and so far it hasn't done anything wrong to me as everyone seems to react with horror when I tell them I'm on it.I can't sleep without it , I have never needed more (a higher dose ) I don't feel out of it/woozy/confused , it does it's job .The only time I ever take a slightly higher dose is when I have to fly- I hate flying but Lorazepam makes it possible.Doctors are shocked when I tell them how long I've been on it but there have been no long term studies on this drug so they are curious at first .I don't know if it causes addiction - I have never been able to sleep .I have twice tried to lower my dose with the result- I can't sleep but then I never could.For me , it works great .I hear it's good for anxiety and aids a lot of people.
I can actually sleep through the night now withought having horrible dreams.
