"i am going on a 14 hour plane trip and wanted a sedative. i hate flying especially on long flights across the world . i got ativan.  i took one (.5) before bedtime before i left home to see how it worked and how strong it was.  sadly i got zip out of it.  i am super sensitive to meds.. i take an aspirin and i know in 5 minutes i am &#039;medicated&#039;. so i am majorly disappointed. now i am even more anxious about my trip. ugh."
