i was on it and it does take some getting used to but i find once i take it i start to just mellow out. dont take to many at once because you will be weird. i took a lot and forgot two days but was very mellow for them lol. just remember under the tongue. im me if you want more information. ive been taking this for 6 years so i know most of the ups and downs lol.
as for side effects you may feel funny taking it but i believe thats more of the person just not wanting to admit they need some extra help. think of it as a vitimin and it wont seem such a hassel to take it. just stick with it for atleast 3 weeks before dismissing it off as crap.

I was on ativan for anxeity. A very low dose though. So it didnt really do much anything for me. Once I was already having a full blown pannic atack it didnt seem to help much. I dont really know what advice you want but I hope this helps.

I knew someone who was prescribed Ativan, the problems was when trying to come off them, they seem to be very addictive unfortunately.

Lorazepam is vary rarely used now except as a pre-medication before surgery. It is probably the most addictive of all the benzodiazepines, so much so that diazepam (Valium ) is usually used to aid the withdrawal process!

I have it for panic attacks.
In my experience, it is only mildly helpful if I take one in the middle of a panic attack.
However, if I am just having really bad anxiety or I feel like I’m going to flip out soon and I take it, it seems to be more effective.
