"i have been experiencing periodic anxiety attacks ever since my house caught on fire, five years ago. doc initially prescribed two ativan a day, one in the morning and one at night. it worked great, but i didn&#039;t like the drowsy side effect in the morning. but, i will tell you, it is a life saver to quell off an attack that&#039;s in full gear or one that you feel coming on. as i write this, i just woke up in the middle of an attack and took 1 mg and am starting to come down after an hour. i only take them as needed now, so i don&#039;t build up a tolerance to the medication.



i hope this was helpful to a few of you that suffer out there too."
