| 5 | OCD anxiety | My 16 year old son took it and had absolutely NONE | Ativan is a wonderful drug. I would recommend as low affective dose as possible. This stuff gave our family back our lives, more importantly my son. This is NOT ADDICTIVE if used to bring yourself up to normal levels. It is ONLY ADDICTIVE if it goes beyond normal levels and is used for a | M | 16 | 1 days | 11/24/2004 | 4 | Anxiety | none | I think this is a great little pill. It helped me get out of the house. | M | 27 | 2 months | 12/8/2004 | 5 | Generalized anxiety disorder-Panic | M | 18 | 6 months | 12/15/2004 | 5 | anxiety | Drowsiness . Sometimes a morning hangover feeling. | I've taken ativan on and off for 5+ years on an | F | 53 | 5 years | 12/18/2004 | 4 | | 1/6/2005 | 4 | nerves | sleepiness | F | 42 | 6 months | 1/17/2005 | 5 | Prostatitis\Pain | I'm not sure why but this drug is really the only drug that stops the pain associated with Prostatitis. There are times when I'm in so much pain I can't do much of anything but this drug lets me sleep. I try to keep is down to ONE pill in 24 hours at most but God knows it lets me sleep and forget about the pain for a little while. It also allows me to urinate if I run the shower and let the water splash on me. | This drug works but it frightens me half to death! I think its a narcotic. I have always taken pride in the fact that I have stayed away from drugs like this but now I just sit in pain and wait for 12 mid night when I can take this thing. The pain is bad enough where it takes this drug about three hours to work but once taken I get relieve for about 12 hours. Once this drug wares off I then use Ibuprofine then a Vicodin to keep me from being in total pain. One good thing, I've lost weight and I look like I did in High School! I know I'm in big trouble here because there isn't a cure for Prostatitis type IIIA and the pain can drive me up the walls, can't eat or drink much. The last time I couldn't urinate they used a catheter! Being that everything down their is very inflamed the experiance was horrible. So if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. I'm hoping that if I only use the Lorazepam once a day I'll be OK for a while. The Doctors just keep feeding me AntiBiotics but I don't think they are doing anything at all because type IIIA doesn't have infection associated with it. They did a urine test and culture. I have a little blood and a few white cells and the culture is clear. So I have no idea what they are doing. | M | 50 | 12 days | 1/30/2005 | 4 | acute anxiety/ depression | did not really experience any side effects. It helped with acute panic attacks I was getting. Unfortunately It goes in to your system quick and out quick as well. Get Withdrawals within 10 hours of taking 2mg tablet. Take 5-6 MGs a day. | Good medication when used as directed but should only be used for a short term and tapered off. I wish I did not need it as I have tried to substitute Klonopin with my DR and it did not work at all. Not sure how I can stop taking it, I hate taking medication this long. | M | 35 | 2 years | 1/30/2005 | 5 | anxiety | none | been on it for years. makes the difference between me wanting to slap someone and not doing it lol. just mellows me out, helps if I get panicy, take before going to parties and places where I have to deal with people.use mostly to sleep, take during the day as needed. excellent drug in my opinion | F | 54 | 10 years | 2/1/2005 | 5 | Anxiaty and Panick attacks, OCD | Drowsyness | Was first given in ER for panick attacks. Then by script from doctor. Works great to take that edge off without being so powerfull like Xanex. I take it when needed mostly at night to help me rest, it quites my mind down. | F | 43 | 6 years | 2/3/2005 | 4 | anxiety/depression | I have many panic attacks throughout the day, and the atavan helps to calm me down. | M | 29 | 4 weeks | 2/5/2005 | 4 | tachycardia | drowsiness, confusion | F | 26 | 7 days | 2/5/2005 | 4 | Nausea control from Chemotherapy | Even at low doses, Ativan very addictive to me. Without it, can't sleep, agitated frequently, and overly emotional. | I was taking Ativan to help supress the effects of chemotherapy. Every effective against nausea. | M | 42 | 5 months | 2/10/2005 | 1 | Bipolar II | Ativan helped me relax and sleep. Problem is I built a huge tolerance to it and needed higher and higher doses for it to work properly. | Withdrawal when I decided to quit was a nitemare. Anxiety x10! Doctors should warn patients that this drug is highly addictive. I will never take one of those again. | M | 26 | 4 months | 2/13/2005 | 4 | | 2/17/2005 | 2 | Anxiety symptoms dizzy walking | After taking 1 mg for the first time, anxious feelings dissipated but became more disoriented and off-balanced which is what I wanted to cure. | M | 35 | 1 days | 2/18/2005 | 4 | panic/anxiety attacks | some drowsiness afterwards | At first I was taking 0.5 mg, but unfortunately, my anxiety attacks got worse and my doctor upped it to 1 mg. It helps fairly well at calming me down when I am having a moderate anxiety attack, though it does nothing for me when I have a severe one. | F | 21 | 4 months | 2/22/2005 | 5 | anxiety | drowsyness | This drug is very good for anxiety and insomnia. However it is addictive and should be used with caution. | F | 57 | 5 days | 3/8/2005 | 3 | sleep disorder, anxiety | None | This is a great medication for anxiety, but not so great as a sleeping pill. | F | 37 | 2 years | 3/8/2005 | 5 | sleep | helps tremendously with sleep. no side effects for me and i've been on the same dose for several years. | M | 41 | 5 years | 3/9/2005 |
