Ativan was weak for me at .5, I barely noticed any thing. Didn't make me dizzy and did not address my axiety. Seems only Klonopin, Valium or Xanax works for me, but none of them make me dizzy, they just relieve my anxiety by relaxing me a bit. If I took over 1mg it would just make me tired. You probably would benefit from .25mg Xanax, it's much milder and you can split that in half too.
