 5  Insomnia Almost no side effects While Ambien (5 mg) could not help me to sleep just after my surgery, I started to take Ativan (0.5 mg)every night for about two months. During that two months period, Ativan really help me fall into sleep. I switched back to Ambien after two months recovery. M 2 months

 5  ptsd anxiety deppresion A bit of a chemically feeling I started taking ativan 3 months ago and it gave me energy i havnt had in a long time and confidence wich i deffianatly didnt have before taking this i take 2 2.5mg a day. I still need a couple of valium before bed. I dont understand why my pharmasist said ativan is the worst medication and hes seen people really fuck up on them. Iam an x addict for pills believe it or not but over the last 3 years have taken them properly. I can feel a kind of chemical feeling and sometimes i feel scetchy like ive been up for two nights. but it gets me through the days quiet well. But ive heard that they are very addictive i hope i can come off them wIth no withdrawals F 1 days
2.5mg

 4  PTSD /sleep None I take Ativan sublingual and not generic named Lorazepam. I was told by a pharmacologist that many people can't take generic due to liver enzymes being different in everyone. I tried generic and what a difference between the two, many side side effects I read here. If you can permit yourself the trade names, it's worth every penny. While trade and generic names and their active ingredients are the same the other components aren't, and that's why people react to most of them. Email me with any question. I have a no substitute rule on meds. F 4 years

 4  Insomnia,Tension Headaches No side effects I found this pretty mild at 2.5mg.Works well for a couple of weeks then becomes like a placebo.Didn't work for my headaches which is the cause of my Insomnia/Depression. They would work very well for Anxiety,and/or Insomnia on it's own. I didn't find them addictive or dangerous as all the hype makes them out to be,and I tapered off in a couple of weeks. better than most of the Psychiatric pills(junk) out their, but still no substitute for healthy living and exercise,and they ain't going to cure anything M 4 months
