Suffering from mental health disorders is not easy. Not only because of the disease but also because of the people’s attitude. Many just think you are crazy and try to avoid your company.

Ativan is cuts the seizures very fast. In such cases, every minute matters, so this is one of the main reasons she chooses this drug. The only flaw of the medication is that she becomes sedated after it and usually needs an hour or two of sleep. But that’s still better than seizures.

let's see what the opinion of our subscribers about the drug Ativan (Lorazepam)

• Lucas Thornton Colorado

-I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression for almost half a year. Four months ago, I started taking Ativan. I began with 0.5 mg three times daily and gradually increased the dosage to 1 mg three times a day. I feel much better due to the treatment, though sometimes I feel weak, which is a common side effect of the drug.

• Elijah Miramar Florida

-I’ve taken several benzodiazepines. Valium didn’t work for me, and Xanax caused severe drowsiness. Ativan is the best for me. I take the lowest dose of the drug – 2 mg, 0.5 mg in the morning and at noon, and another 1 mg at bedtime. Ativan helps me deal not only with anxiety but also with insomnia. I highly recommend this drug.

• Oliver Stamford Connecticut

-Trouble sleeping is the problem I’ve been trying to resolve for several months. At first, I hoped that cognitive-behavioral therapy would be the key. After two weeks, I started taking herbal meds for sleep. Finally, I bought Ativan, which helped. I take only 2 mg at bedtime to fall asleep. I don’t wake up during the night nor do I feel sleepy in the morning.

• Benjamin Kent Washington

-I’m in the third week of therapy with Ativan. I take it to reduce the severe agitation I’ve been suffering. My daily dosage is 6 mg. I take 3 mg at bedtime, splitting the rest of the dose for morning and daytime intakes. I noticed improvements in my condition after a week of use. Now I feel better than ever and hope to get rid of the disorder by the end of treatment.

• Daniel Carrollton Texas

-My doctor warned me about the risks of tolerance and dependence, so I strictly followed her recommendations about the dosage and duration of treatment. After three months of treatment, I started reducing the dose from my typical 4 mg/day to 3 mg, then 2 mg, and so on. It was not easy for me, but I managed to step off without any withdrawal symptoms.

• William Fargo North Dakota

-During my cancer treatment, I handled chemotherapy really bad. Nausea and vomiting were severe and regular meds didn’t help. My doctor prescribed Ativan to cut those symptoms. The medication was really effective. I took 2 mg three times a day on the day and a couple of days after chemotherapy. It was such a relief. Fortunately, now I’m fine.

• Michael Palm Bay Florida

I used to take other benzos before Ativan but have had some side effects, so I prepared myself for the same this time. To my big surprise, I don’t feel any unwanted reactions, though it’s my second week of treatment. I already feel my anxiety levels going down, and my sleep has normalized. I’m glad I can get the treatment I need without side effects.

• Jayden Columbia Missouri

-I need Ativan exclusively for sleep. I have had trouble falling asleep and not waking up during the night for several years. Tried several medicines and counseling to find the core of the problem but all in vain. I take 4 mg of Ativan at bedtime and sleep like a newborn. Sometimes I feel dizzy in the morning, but I’m ready to stand this for good sleep.

• Lincoln Abilene Texas

-I’ve been on and off Ativan for several years. Compared to other anxiolytics, it is more effective for me. A couple of times, I had some problems stepping off the therapy: I had the symptoms of rebound anxiety. Luckily, my doctor made some changes to the treatment and extended the process of reducing the dose. I like how Ativan works for me. It’s the best.

• David Santa Clara California

-I know that Ativan is not recommended for longer than 4 weeks, but I’ve been on it for almost 10 weeks, and it’s still effective. Ever since I started taking it, I felt the anxiety going down. I’m less irritant and can better cope with my emotions. At times, I do feel worse, but this doesn’t last long. Overall, I’m grateful for what this drug does for me.

• Elias Topeka Kansas

-I’m an alcoholic, but I’ve been sober for already 27 days. I stopped drinking after the severe alcohol withdrawal. At that moment, I thought I was dying. I had hallucinations and was restless and aggressive. I got to the emergency room, where they gave me Ativan. I’m not sure about the dosage, but it helped me calm down, and go through those harsh days.

• Theodore Allentown Pennsylvania

-Depression is the worst thing that may happen to a person. That’s what I thought before I developed anxiety and insomnia. A terrible mixture of symptoms was driving me crazy. My psychiatrist said I should try Ativan. I could take only small doses because of the depression, but it still worked pretty well. I’m still on it, and it goes fine.

• Nathan Simi Valley California

-It’s the fifth day of my treatment. I take Ativan 0.5 mg in the morning and daytime and another 1 mg at bedtime. I started feeling significant improvement in my condition only a couple of days ago, and I like the changes. I still have three weeks of treatment ahead and hope this time will be enough for me to get well.

• Isaac Vallejo California

-I started taking Ativan with 1.5 mg per day. I didn’t feel any improvements, so my doctor increased the dose to 3 mg per day. At first, I felt super weak and sleepy, but in a couple of days, my body got adjusted to the drug, and the unwanted symptoms were gone. Overall, I think Ativan is helping me well, but I’m not sure how I will cope after the treatment is over.

• Joseph Rochester Minnesota

A year ago, I was diagnosed with depression-associated anxiety. Those were harsh times for me. I had panic attacks and preferred to stay home. I still needed treatment, so I started buying medicines Lorazepam, and I feel great, this preparation calms me like nothing on earth.
