Am I taking too much Ativan?
by barb47198, Feb 24, 2009 04:38PM
My doctor tells me that I should think about Ativan like alcohol -- and use the same sort of standard to know when I'm taking too much. I don't really know what that means on a day-to-day basis.
I take 75 mg. of Zoloft daily, and .5 of Ativan when I feel the need -- about 10 - 15 tablets per month. I never go higher than 1 mg. of Ativan at any time.
Am I depending on the Ativan too much, or is this quite regular usage?
Thanks for any feedback!

In my opinion, that is not that high at all...in fact it is fairly low, but Ativan is a stronger benzo that has a short half life (sort of like xanax) and should be used on an as needed basis as prescribed. I am surprised that your doctor was so ambiguous with his/her answer to your question. Did you ask for a little more clarity? These meds are good at what they are designed to do, but should not be taken without close consultation with your doctor in my opinion. Keep us posted!
