Anxiety
"I have been dealing with a lot of stress, and ended up in the hospital with a panic attack. I have anxiety and panic disorder, and I have been taking Ativan for nearly three months. I only take it when I am at the point I can no longer breathe, and I am shaking. It is quick and effective, it causes me to calm down enough that I can breath, I stop shaking, and I am able to concentrate. I love it, and am pleased with the effects of it. The down side, is I tend to feel a bit loopy for like an hour after taking it, but then I&#039;m fine again, also eating helps this time period. Unfortunately I have to switch to Xanax because my new doctor likes them more. I&#039;m hoping for the same effect, but I would completely recommend it."
