"i forgot how well this stuff works. i&#039;ve been using ativan every so often for six years. i hadn&#039;t taken it in ages but had a panic attack tonight and i feel really good now after taking it. i know when my anxiety was a lot worse, it didn&#039;t bring me down to 0 anxiety but took the edge off. at one point in the past i was taking it pretty much daily but never became dependent on it (i only take the 0.5mg dose). i do feel kind of sleepy, but pleasantly so. in my experience the sublingual (under the tongue) type works a lot better than the normal swallowed pills."
