Speaking of Ativan......for about a month i would not shut up about it.
Well hear i go, I was on Lorazepam 6 mg daily (2mg X3) but it did not treat panic, its very wierd it takes the edge off, but not the craziness. I just switched to Klonopin 4 mg about Week and half ago...... Clonazpam is good for panic, i do calm down, and dont have the 'grinding' sensation that im going insane.
Klonopin does have disatvantages...... it makes me feel lousy, lethargic and mental slob. Ativan does mellow your nerve, its good for Presentations, Long AirLine flights, and maybe working in a stressful place but that usally was at 2mg.
I dont work very well on Klonopin, Ativan i worked fine, no mental slowing, well some... but not all that much.
Clonazepam relieves more mental distress than Lorazepam, it seems to directly slow distress. Ativan really doesnt, your calm.... but your still a mental nervous wreck.
Well thats my input. I hope it is helpful.
Take Care
Matt
