I was on ativan 1mg in the morning 1mg at lunch and 1mg at dinner and 2mg at bed time, also on doxepin at bed time, I was on ativan for 11 years never got high off them just sleep well, I have very bad panic attack where I pass out with them so, I started having them again very bad and my DR, now give me Xanax xr 3 times aday I'm scard of meds but have done well on the xanax xr because it stay in my body all the day just like ativan did; but xanax will make you high ativan just relexes you but I will see this week if xanax is better,,right now not sure but it does help my panic attacks,,so you all may want to ask your DR, about xanax xr because it stays in you at all times..
I heard that Xanax can cause that, but my question to you is why arent you on a longer lasting benzo? If you have been on benzos for the most part 18 years, you could probably benefit more from a longer lasting benzo
