Hello,

Back in March, I went to the emergency room and had to undergo an MRI on my head. I have developed terrible anxiety, and they administered me two separate doses of ativan intravenously (the initial dose wasn't enough after I learned I would have to wear a helmet over my head in addition to the enclosed space). After these two doses, I didn't care about anything--I finally understood what 'high' really meant.

Anyway, I cannot recall how much they gave me, but I had to get an MRI last week on the same area with the same and my GP prescribed 2mg lorazepam tabs. I took two an hour before and was not calm enough to have the exam.

Now he has prescribed me 5mg diazepam tablets. I took a 5mg tablet last night. I did not feel carefree, just drowsy. I do not think it will help me for the MRI.

Obviously, my body does react euphorically to the BZDs since they worked in hospital. Should I take 10mg? or more?

Thank you
