Question about Ativan?
| Mon, 05-29-2006 - 3:00am |
I was thinking of asking my Dr. about Ativan. I suffer from social anxiety, but dont' want to take a daily medication. I am okay in most situations, however, I feel as though I could use something just when I need it. I've heard you can take ativan when you need it and not everyday. Has anyone used it, and if so please give me some info... does it work well, side effects, etc...?
Thanks!
Cheryl

I was giving ativan in the hospital for a panic attack.I personally did not like it.I was just out of it and slept for 8 hours.I couldnt carry on a conversation for nothing,what my mind wanted to say came out of my mouth a whole different way.The ER doc gave me the smallest dose,cut in half and I was looped.I take klonopin now as needed and it dont do that to me.It just relaxes me.
