It IS the doctors decision. If you find, down the road, that the Ativan is not controlling your symptoms, the choices are to increase the dose or try you on something else.
Cross bridges when you get to them.

thank you all for the replies
I was just wondering.Some people are put on Xanax and some Ativan.Must be the doctors decision. Thats all:)
If the Ativan is working for you, why do you want/need to know if Xanax is stronger?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

is Xanax stronger than Ativan? I have a script for 0.5mg of Ativan 3 x a day.Never had to use that dose.But if I do need one,it is there.
We cannot tell you to start, stop OR substitue ANY medication. If you cannot reach your doctor for a refill, contact the pharmacist who fills your prescription(s) and ask him/her your questions.
Sorry, but those are the rules.
