Users share their experience with Ativan and comment on drug side effects, Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Ativan sorted by most. I took it for 7 days straight 3x.5mg per day as prescribed by my doctor for generalized anxiety disorder. Ativan was prescribed for his anxiety. I hadn't taken it in ages but had a panic attack tonight and I feel really good now after taking it. Ativan (lorazepam) is an effective medicine for occasional or short-term anxiety. It's less likely to have drug interactions, but more likely to cause withdrawal.
Prescribed for anxiety to use when needed. Well, 1mg was ineffective. I had to take 3mg in order to feel some anxiety relief, SOME. Taking higher doses than that did not relieve any more anxiety than the 3mg level really. Side effects at 3mg and above included blurred vision, double vision, short-term memory impairment. I knew such higher doses were risky and destined for negative side effects when you're talking benzodiazepine class of drugs but I tried anyway; this anxiety is crippling. Klonopin is significantly more effective in treating my anxiety.
It evened my mood out, but when taking myself off of it, the withdrawals made me have a seizure. Also, sometimes if I missed one pill, I would start to withdrawl.
