> Hi Mitch and Chloe,
> Following your posts and funny thing, I just started taking lorezapam. Still on Remeron, lithium of course, but Klonopin wasn't doing it for me. Really needed something to settle me down when I ran out of lithium recently due to my mail order pharmacy taking it's sweet time. Klonopin has always mellowed me for about an hour and then I felt like the jitters were just under the surface. So, I'm doing this trial with lorezapam 'just to see'. So far it's much more sedating, and that's exactly what I'm looking for in a benzo. When I need to be active, driving, doing Costco, whatever, Klonopin is fine. But sometimes a girl just wants to chill.
That's interesting. I originally got samples of Ativan long, long ago (1984). They were 2mg white tabs I think (that's the medium dose size?). I used them on my first airplane ride to prevent panic. They worked marvelously. They were a little potent-however. I don't think I could use them at work, except maybe a small dose for a presentation. They didn't do wonders for my mathematical skills. However, I never felt depressed on them (as diazepam did), or sullen (like clonazepam can do), never got grouchy on them that I can remember.Mitch
