IF you use this drug JUDICIOUSLY, it can a God send. I take 1 mg 3 to 4 times a week, never passing 5 (and rarely hitting 5). 99% of the time I take it right at bedtime to get a bomb sleep. The next day, the world is beautiful. I am lucky; I can feel the drug working for 13 hours every time. And when it wears off, I still feel superb. I am a better person with this inexpensive medication in my life! I have been taking ativan for 10 years. The routine above has been consistently done for 3 years. Consider a low dose SSRI; I have been taking 10 mg of Cipralex/Lexapro for 18 months. I wish I had this figured out years ago! Good Luck.
I've been taking Ativan for anxiety and panic disorder for over 12 years and have been pleased with the results. I've been able to lower my starting dose of 4mg per day to 2mg per day with the incorporation of exercise and cognitive therapy (they have been a big help!). I hope I can discontinue using it altogether some day (I'm not big on meds) but it has made a huge difference in helping me manage my symptoms effectively and safely. Only side effect has been mild fatigue, which I'll take over a panic attack any day.
