I've had PRN .5 MG Ativan since April 2011. I take maybe 1-2 pills a month. They definitely decrease my anxiety. However, pdoc said I could take them more often than I do. But they make me so tired that I usually put off taking them.

To try to combat the fatigue, he gave me a script for Xanax instead. I've taken 3 pills (on different occasions). It doesn't seem to eliminate the tight in my chest anxiety feeling like Ativan does. I figured they'd be quite similiar, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

What types of experiences have you had with different benzos? Thanks!
