It should work well. Ativan is in the same drug family as Valium. That being said, be careful with it. That family also has long half lives and can be addictive.
You mean be half life it says inyou system a long time right?...i am now googling info on it and im kinda scared to take from what im reading...my script is for only 1 mg and 30 pills....tink i should be ok?....i just my BP and its normal...but lately i can feel a tension in my chest...i may have no choice to take something to relax me
(Adivan, 1 mg is equal in effect to diazepam 10 mg).[26][27] The half life of lorazepam is 10–20 hours.[28]
Go ahead and take it. But, don't get so relaxed that you have another med schedule snafu.
I take ativan from time to time for anxiety. I like it because it is a drug I can take as needed - not like ADs where you have to take it daily to keep threaputic levels.
I mostly take ativan at night, at those times when I just cannot make my brain stop racing through all my problems over and over. It helps me a lot and I never had any trouble with side effects. Its not liver toxic. I get 1 mg, 30 pills and that will last me about 2-3 months or more.
Give it a try. Only take it when you need it and you should be ok.
Im still googling it....it looks safe enuff...ive taken valium in my party days so if its anyting like that ill be relieved....ill just play it smart and wont abuse them...as they can be very addictive...physicaly and mentally....im goinn to pick up some right now....i just hope i feel relaxed caused i am worried sick now
That's exactly what its for. Just be smart with them. They help a lot.
Good luck.

Many people have screwed things up financially lately, including me. And I talk a blue streak at certain hours of the day, although at other times, I seem comatose. My husband wishes the blue streak wouldn't keep happening at midnight.
Why don't you try the Ativan as long as you're careful and let us know.
Ativan has a high potential for addiction. Ativan can cause psychological and physical addiction. Individuals develop an addiction to Ativan because it produces feelings of well-being. Once an individual has moved from abusing Ativan and developed an addiction to Ativan they will often get multiple prescriptions from different doctors to support their addiction. Ativan activates the brain’s reward systems. The promise of reward is very intense, causing the individual to crave more Ativan and to focus his or her activities around taking the drug.

Yes, it does. Glad that **** is over 20 yrs. in my past. I'm sure it's why I'm here.
Didn't know carp was a bad word. You'd think I said the sh word or something.

I was just thinking of the relationship of exercise and anxiety. You've always been so vigorous and active and upbeat, but since you went on unemployment I was wondering if you might not be getting out as much or doing as much exercise as before, that's all.
I *know* you eat well. ;)
Sorry if I'm over-mothering here. My son came home from college for the weekend and it's like my "mom" switch got turned on and I don't seem to be able to turn it off since he left!

i took the Ativan 30 min ago and i feel relaxed already....very fast acting
hello rocker ativan is not to hard on liver but can be addictivrve you can also get them in .5 1 and 2 mg try to take only what necessary i had bad insomnia on treatment and was taking 1.5 mg nitely since week 10 had so many problems at work by feb was up to 3.5 nite finished treatment 1 month ago and have reduced down to .5 buy as of last nite will do this for 7 days or so .you may want to get script for .5 best of luck
Ativan helped me get through those "menopausal days". I could only take half of 1mg if needed during the day otherwise it would put me to sleep. A whole pill at night and I slept very well. I used them on and off for about a year. No adverse effects.
It is fast acting. In about 20-30 minutes you should feel it.
My tension in my chest gone and my head feels lighter...seems like it helps with headaches too
I bet that was partly a tension headache. Everyone can use a little help now & then. Hope the ativan works for you.

Anything in the valium family is a very effective muscle relaxer in addition to the stress reliever. More effective than any muscle relaxer.
