That's pretty much what it does for me. Ativan doesn't really get rid of my anxious/depressive thoughts (and they're pretty overwhelming) to the extent I wish it would, it just kinda makes being conscious a wee bit more tolerable when it feels like things are closing in on me. I feel like if pinpointing is difficult, you really have to start scrutinizing your life in different areas (which might sound like more mental exhaustion-I don't know your situation).
