Re: Lorazepam (Ativan) for Social Anxiety?
      09/24/03 08:13 PM

I think that the main drawback of using short-lived benzos (like Ativan and Xanax) for a chronic anxiety problem on an as-needed basis is that the person often develops anticipatory anxiety, worries about not having pills with them at all times, and has to suffer while waiting the time it takes for the pill to take effect. That's why i like Klonopin better. If you chew them both up, a Klonopin will take effect almost as fast as an Ativan. The main difference is that the Klonopin lasts so long that it's hard to notice it wearing off. A psychiatrist had no problem switching me from lorazepam to clonazepam when i explained how depending on lorazepam for relief actually caused me to have anxiety. It's been three years now and i've never felt the need to increase the clonazepam's daily dose. It's for daily use, day after day. But after a week i stopped feeling any effect from it besides the absence of anxiety. The first week it was sedating. That went away.

It's nothing like having a beer, not even a sip. I prefer not feeling drugged and can do mental work with no problem. That would be impossible on some other benzos.

Your mileage my vary from mine. Find a good doctor. There are some out there.
