Coming up on the third MRI in two days the doc gave me a shot of Lorazepam (Ativan)....and I actually enjoyed it...Star Trek fantasies ensued.
Ativan works very well for anxiety. Like any benzodiazepine, it’s addictive. I averaged 1.5 mg per day for about 3 years, and quit last July. It was not a pleasant experience. I thought it was a low dosage, but it seems that lorazepam per unit of mass is about 10 times more potent than other benzos. Works great in a pinch, but I recommend not taking it regularly
Heh!
