Hi I started Ativan 1 mg this week and at first it was wonderful for my anxiety but I noticed sometimes I stay anxious even though I took the pill. My question is, do I need to at least take the medication for a few weeks before expecting more relief from anxiety or is this as good as it gets? I just don't want to waste time feeling anxious if I should be prescribed something else. The ativan does make a difference though but I would prefer the medication to completely eliminate the anxious/scared feeling in my stomach where everything starts.
