In reply to Ativan half life, posted by Dan Perkins on March 24, 2007, at 9:15:12
> How long after I swallow an ativan is the peak effect of the drug felt? Let's say I have an anxiety inducing event (like a speech that I have to give) at a particular time, how long b/f that time should I pop the pill?

30 minutes is possible. Be careful that you've memorized the speech and you're only taking just enough to quell anxiety. Propranolol is much more useful there but if you find Ativan works, then so much the better. Do realize that it will be in your system for the next 60 hours, its useful half life somewhere around 12 hours, so if you've never taken benzodiazepines, take care driving.
