Hi, I know this is the Diazepam/Valium forum but I believe Lorazepam/Ativan is a very similar medication.
I've been prescribed Lorazepam up to 3mg a day to help me cope with anxiety and agitation. My doctor thought it might help me get to University and cope better.
I looked it up on the online and I think I am on quite a strong dose because 1mg of lorazepam = 10mg of diazepam.
The first time I took it I tried to go to class I didn't notice any difference or help at all :huh:.
I tried some again 6pm yesterday and I felt slightly more relaxed but not exactly anxiety free, but I did sleep well. Is this normal or should I expect to notice a stronger effect?
Maybe I was expecting too much as I was hoping they would completely switch off the anxiety for a few hours.
