    I was first introduced to Ativan during my stay in the Psychiatric Ward. It defiantly helps calm me down at a higher dose (4-6mg) and helps me sleep at a lower dose (1-2mg). The only trouble I have is finding a doctor that will continue to prescribe it to me. I've heard it can be very addictive but I stopped taking it for a few months and felt no withdrawal, just anxious and tired (obviously). Overall I love Ativan. I've been taking it for about one year now and will continue to take it to help with my anxiety.

    I have been taking this medication for over 20 years.. for anxiety and sleeping problems. Never had any side effects and it works wonders. Take .05 mg. 3 times a day. It keeps me in the real world

    tired and now totally can't get off of it. sometimes i have a tremor in my head moving and i wonder if it's because of the drug. also when you are on it for a long period of time lets say 2 or 3 years then your body gets used to it so now it's doing nothing and you need to double the dose. thats when it gets bad

    First of all, I noticed that no matter what, when you comment on this, it starts with the anxiety section, so I said it was anxiety. This drug is a nightmare yet a wonder drug at the same time. I started taking it because I have multiple sclerosis and had muscle spasms. That was 6 years ago. I NEVER had anxiety before then. It worked for the muscle spasms when nothing else would. I tried neurontin (hallucinated), as well as all the muscle relaxants which just didn't touch it. I knew this was a scary drug because my mother was a counselor and the doctor switched her from ativan (lorazepam) to ambien. She began going through severe withdrawals. She hallucinated, shook and had seizures. They thought she was psychotic (she was and I tried to tell them why but they wouldn't listen), they put her on the psychiatric ward and gave her haldol. Then she began to twitch and couldn't walk, half her face hung down (tardive dyskinesia). They were ready to put her in a mental institution. I begged them to listen to me, and even tried to sneak in ativan but I got caught. She almost died before they gave her ativan. Then she was back to normal. It was truly a nightmare. She had to move her practice to a different town. She was so humiliated. So, when I started taking it 6 years ago for my back, I was really careful. Since then, and now I only take .5 to 1 mg at bedtime. I went on a trip and forgot it. I thought I would be fine. By day 2 it was me this time. I couldn't think, I was having horrible anxiety, and was scared out of my mind. I drank a beer (I heard that helps a little), and it did some, but not enough. Finally I got the ativan and I got better. Turns out, it doesn't matter how little you take, it's how long you take it. Yes, it works wonders, but make sure you never run out, and if you start to have anxiety before your next dose, remember, it CAUSES anxiety too. Just be very careful. Dont take too much and let yourself run out. Itcanbefatal
