I find Ativan marvelous. I have severe anxiety disorder which interferes with my work and school. After 2.5 years of not drinking I went back to it as a quick fix for the anxiety. Years earlier they knew I had anxiety but tried to put me on anti-depressants. A therapist during a hospital stay for alcoholism evaluated me along with my PCP and they said I'm not depressed, just anxious and think Ativan which I was receiving for withdraw would be best for me. I went from 1 mg 3x a day to 1 in the A.M, 1 in the P.M and 2 b4 bed. As of today I'm at 2 in the A.M, 1 in the P.M and 2 b4 bed. So far it's been working very well, I'm less agitated. In the hospital they paired it with Valium and may do so again or with Klonopin was talked about. Ativan helps me sleep, calm down, I have a highly stressful job in finance. I wake up after the 2 feeling tired, a little, but it wears off pretty soon after awaking. Good medicine!
I've had no obvious side effects except dry mouth. I had severe panic attacks (12-15 a day) before taking Ativan. I couldn't work and thought I was dying. Since I started it I have had only one full blown panic attack in 5 years
