"after recovery from prostate cancer 8 mos. ago, i began experiencing panic attacks &amp; general anxiety disorder. 
i have tried 3 different therapists (psychobabblers), and 4 diff ssri&#039;s, all to no avail. the only effective treatment that resolved my difficulties was ativan. my prescription is 1 mg up to 3 times a day as needed. 1 mg per day works 90% of time. it&#039;s rare that i need 2, and never 3. without it i&#039;d be looking for the highest bridge.
