I currently take Ativan 1mg 3X daily but not everyday
Ativan really doesnt have any special qualities, just plain anti-anxiety, i do belive it has anti-manic similar to klonopin but for me its defintly not as sedating.
I work fine with 1mg, no sedation or anything, i hardly really feel it thats what sometimes frustrating.
I taken 2mg at night one time i had to take 9mg during a major panic hit, it gradually calmed but it doesnt do a good job for panic in general.
I guess this is why its not really classified an anti-panic med.For social anixety, mmm Klonopin worked better, it "loosenes" me up in a place to talk, i feel more relieved and in mood. Ativan just makes me stand around, and not really say much.
I just wanted to hear from other people who have taken it and how it worked/works for you.
