I had very good luck with Ativan for anxiety on an as-needed basis. It really helped with sleep, too. However, I took my stash to a friend's house to get it out of mine when I was actively suicidal 6 or 7 months ago, and he has yet to give it back. (I'm much better now.) My doc switched me to Zyprexa on an as-needed basis instead, which doesn't work nearly as well, but I don't think the OD potential is as high as with Ativan.
