User Reviews for Ativan oral

I have suffered from severe anxiety for 23 years and this is the only drug I can take. It is the type that helps for the moment and it does not have long term effectiveness. It is addictive I have been on it for so long.

I have been on ativan for more than 2 years and if i dont take it i cant go to sleep and before i couldnt go to sleep it workd for me couse i can go to sleepl

I only took one pill and the next morning my face was swollen and my eye swelled shut and i ender up in the emergency room.

It keeps me calm...

Ativan helped initially with chest pains. When I needed something more, they gave me Buspar, which I've taken before; & has been kinder & gentler; much easier to tolerate. Ativan Withdrawal is extremely difficult: like riding a roller coaster w/ your nerves exposed; & physically painful as well. I never experienced that extreme w/ Buspar.

great for treating anxiety/panic attacks. the only negative effect i have experienced is extreme drowsiness and feeling "out of it"

My dentist gave me ativan to take before I had a wisdom tooth pulled. I took one pill the night before and one pill 1 1/2 hours before my appointment. The pill made me very nauseated and I threw up three times while at the dentist. In all, it took about 12-15 hours before I stopped throwing up completely.

have suffered with poor sleep for years-i take three mgs at night and sleep wonderful also takes care of anxiety

It has been God sent for me!!! It has really changed my life!!!! Sherry Moore

This medication did help, but made me feel out of it. I got very tired and lightheaded. I felt nauseated and it lasted on and of for most of the day. Before taking this, make sure you are not alone until you know how it will affect you. Especially if you have children.

If I take this drug several days in a row, or more than once a day, I find myself forgetful. After the effects wear off, I feel like a fog has lifted. However, it does disminish the anxious feelings that it was prescribed to help.

I have withdrawn from alcohol addiction with (two days) and without adivan. With is much, much easier...and safer.

I can't tell any difference. I do take effexor 75mg (not controlled realease) I wake up with that just can't go outside, heart in my throat feeling. I'm on 0.5 twice a day.Any suggestions would help. Xanax helps the best but makes me feel hungry so I stay away from that.

This medication has helped with my feelings of anxious all the time.

I have trouble sleeping in strange places and used this medication to help me get to sleep when I was on a cruise for the first time. It was very effective in helping me relax enough to get to sleep and then sleep for a full 8 hours.

This was prescribed (.5 mg) to my 102 year old grandmother living in assisted living. Less than a week taking it, she was morphed into a zombie. She couldn't stay awake and was slurring her words. Not good.
