Spacing out ativan

Hi,I took a 1 mg ativan at 7 am and its wore off by 11 am can i take a 0.5 mg ativan or is that like double dosing,,i cant go 8 hours aprt any more

The max dose for Ativan in a day is 6mg. Ativan should last in your system longer then say a Xanax. Taking a 0.5 is not double dosing but you should let your doc know that the 1 mg is wearing off faster than you would like. If you need long lasting relief there is always Xanax XR.

Hi there I take 4mgs of ativan daily and I think you will find out that they are a short acting benzo, so you will feel the affects wearing of after 4 to 5 hours, how long have you been on ativan/ and how many mgs has you doc told you to take, please post me back

if i was you i would get off ativan its not a long term drug your body will get used to it and need more and more , than when dr takes you off it its going to be he--. ask dr for long term use med like klonopin,valuim, they work much better long term your body does not nedd more and more of it. yes you have to wing off when you get ready to or its a life time med.
