"i have been taking ativan for 20 years. it was prescribed for me when my husband was in hospice care and i was struggling to care for him and our young daughters. i have gad and it is the only thing that calms my mind and makes me feel normal if i am in high anxiety mode. i have reduced my amount needed to one half of the .5 pill to help sleep and the other half if i wake up too early and cannot get back to sleep. i also use it to fly. i have no hangovers and never feel fuzzy. it is a miracle drug for me."
