Anxiety
"I started taking Ativan about 3 months ago for extreme anxiety. I couldn&#039;t sleep, eat, or get anything done. I was seeing a CBT therapist but even my therapy wasn&#039;t helping. My doctor prescribed Ativan and my dad, who is a psychologist, agreed. It&#039;s for the worst moments when I feel like I&#039;m either going to go to the hospital or just completely go crazy. For that purpose it works very well. I feel relaxed in about a half hour and can function again. I don&#039;t take it every day or every week but I can&#039;t imagine being addicted to something if it makes you feel normal. I don&#039;t feel high or anything. I&#039;m so glad I was prescribed this and decided to take it."
