panic disorde
"Ativan 0.5 mg as needed for panic attacks.  Not good for longterm use in my opinion because you will always need more, body will tolerate the dose and need more for same calming effect but its a short-acting med for anxiety and panic attacks and working wonderfully for me for years.  I have bipolar 2 with rapid mood cycling and bad PMS symptoms and its a blessing when I do need it.  I never take more than 1 mg at one time though because it is a strong drug.  Peace.  This too shall pass."
