Ok, now Im trying to help you with the info you gave. Ativan is a real downer. It will make you sleep and forget for a bit but thats about all when it wears off. Do you panic when you have problems. If so, I would reccomend Klonopin, if not panic, I would Highly reccomend Xanax over Ativan. But you didnt give me a lot to go off of. If it is rare anxiety try bu-spar, non addictive, and trust me, you DO NOT want to be addicted to a benzodiazapine. Worst withdrawal of any street or scrip med. That is all I can say for now. Tell me more if you want better advice

Have you tried natural anxiety remedies? You can get a lot of benefit out of things like Theanine, Tryptophan, Vitamin B complex and Passionflower. I take a supplement called tranquilene (****.com) that has a bunch of great natural ingredients. I didn't do so well with prescription stuff and am much happier without the pharma meds.

Fish oil also works really well. Finding time to exercise and distract yourself from thinking helps too!
