“lorazepam works quite well (only thing I've tried so far that works)”
“I was given the Ativan at the hospital a few weeks ago which has made me calm down”

“On those rare nights that I'm still awake at 2am, I take .5 mg of Ativan”
“I take benzos like twice a month in weekends to relax.1-2mg lorazepam”
“In the short term ativan will help, in the long term, something like zoloft and or strattera were god-sends for me”
Negative and mixed experiences
“it isn't potentially addictive like lorazepam, the other thing that works well for me.”
“the only thing which has been helping me feel like 'myself' at all and be able to function in social situations is when I take 0.5 of ativan or klonopin”
“Ativan -- tried it once, felt like it inhibited mental clarity and made me feel kind of 'off'”
“the last one prescribed me lorazepam, which was also not useful at all”
“Ativan is not going to be a good medication for daily usage...I'm aware of the dangers and don't like that I need them but it's the only way I can function normally”
