Ativan *****
I am currently prescribed both xanax and ativan. I took an ativan at 3:30 and my anxietyty hasn't subsided. How long should I wait ti take a xanax?
Like I told you the other day, you need to get this straightened out with your doctor. You shouldn't be taking two short term benzos concurrently. Also, these meds are best meant as "rescue" meds. Taking them daily will lead to tolerance and dependency, and eventually an increase in anxiety.
I would recommend getting into therapy, and if needed, looking into morer appropriate long term medication options.

Be careful with mixing benzos. Bad bad idea. Let your Dr. know you have xanax too. He'll more than likely tell you to take one or the other.
How long have you been on xanax?

no...I was given a prescription from the ER for xanax and then my doctor provided ativan. But they are not working and I hate the way it is making me feel. the xanax worked better for me. i am going back to said doctor tomorrow to have him change back to xanax.
