They are both very addictive along with every other benzodiazepine(valium,klonopin,ativan, librium,xanax) with xanax the one thing that can make it worse is the fact that if you abruptly stop using it you can have a siezure depening on your dose and how long you've been taking it. But in the end ativan and xanax basically rank about the same in my opinion, but you should really contact your prescribing doctor to get their opinion.

I don't think it is as bad as xanax at all. I have taken xanax a few times. And when my husband died, the hospital gave me a script for xanax and I flushed them cause they made me more sad. Then my husbands cousin gave me one of her ativans and I felt nothing, but apparantly it was supposed to be like a xanax. But maybe I was too much in shock.
