Well, my story in short, i started taking Cipralex 10mg and Ativan 1mg(0.5 in the morning and 0.5 in the evening) for the past 2 months and a half. Even though my anxiety has improved i still don't feel well. Each time i make progress my pdoc tries to take me off the ativan, and after few days i end up taking it again cause of anxiety.

Now i read a lot of horrible stories about ativan and benzo in general, but most of the people where on high doses and other stuff.

Thing is that I don't feel ready to get of it for now. This combo works, and I want to suggest to my doctor to let me keep it for some more time, and perhaps also increase the dose of Cipralex to 15 mg.

My questions is to people who have taken low doses of ativan or other benzo for relative time, like 5-6 months. How did it work out for you.

Thanks and hope to get some good feedback, as i miss my old life :(
