"i took my first 1mg dose recently and i have to say i&#039;m pleasantly surprised. i was prescribed ativan to take only as needed on the cusp of an anxiety attack, as i&#039;ve been having a few lately. it absolutely took the sting out of the anxiety and left me feeling really chilled out, to the point of that really comfortable tiredness when you&#039;re super relaxed. i haven&#039;t felt that in a long time. i didn&#039;t have any gross side effects (except for the tiredness) and was able to enjoy the rest of my day :)"
