Thread: Does Ativan (lorazepam) cause rebound anxiety?

    Does Ativan (lorazepam) cause rebound anxiety?

    I take 1mg lorazepam if I'm having an anxiety attack, usually at night so it puts me right to sleep. The next day I always feel really good and calm too. However, the day after that I usually have worse anxiety and chest pain all day. Do you think this is coincidence or is it connected?

    I think that happens with benzo (like Lorazepam) which have a low half life. When you start out with benzos then you have to take them regularly. Currently I am battling with health anxiety and take clonazepam and diazepam. I take 0.5 mg clonazepam on Sunday and Tuesday nights and 10 mg Diazepam on Monday and Thursday nights.

    You should switch to Diazepam because they last longer and the rebound does not come that quickly.

    I've been on Ativan for almost a month and at times I feel like my anxiety has diminished and other times it sticks around. Initially it worked great, however I had to increase my dose so now I'm not certain if I will be able to continue taking this medicine.
