Ativan vs. Xanax

by Babybird79, Mar 11, 2008 08:57PM
  Does anyone know if Ativan is a weaker or less potent Benzo than Xanax? I took an Ativan pill when I was in the middle of a panic attack and it didn't seem to help calm me as much as compared to xanax. I also noticed  after taking the very first dose I ve every had  of Ativan and it doesn't make me drowsy at all when  I take a whole 1mg tablet to use as a sleep aid. Xanax seemed to have more of  a drowsy/sleepy effect and I usually got to sleep ok.
