Ativan - Lorazepam
      09/23/03 05:34 PM

Recently, I was at the hospital for a panic attack I suffered and (two nurses later and after a very long wait) the physician finally saw me and prescribed me some lorazepam (ativan) in case I had another occurance that night or in the near future. I'd told one of the nurses I had met with that I had another anxiety disorder (social anxiety) so the doctot knew. He told me that the lorazepam would not only work to quell my panic but also the anxiety as well (since they are both related to each other). He also said that when I took a pill it would feel like I had "drunk three beers." The thing is, though, that since I've used the lorazepam I haven't felt a major decrease in my anxiety, even when I've taken as much as 3mg (three pills). I also didn't feel like I had drunk three beers (more like half a beer after I took 2mg of lorazepam and 60mg of dihydrocodeine). So I'm wondering how good lorazepam is supposed to work for social anxiety? I know there are much better benzodiazepines for social anxiety (klonopin, valium, xanax) but I'm wondering about ativan, since that is all I have at the moment.
