I take about 1-2mg of ativan before sleep. I don't take them in the daytime unless I have to, which is rare. Yet, I think taking ativan for sleep may be causing me more anxiety during the day.

Whats your take on benzos?

I'm prescribed 1mg ativan PRN 3x's a day but I don't take it every day as it loses its calming effects or I get used to it. At least in my case. Also I really don't want to get physically dependent on it. Even though the bottle says one at a time I often have to take 2-3 at a time to have any effect. I'm a very small person but I have a crazy high tolerance to meds. Maybe from years of being on psych meds? I only use it when I'm anxious at work or I'm having trouble sleeping. However I find it only lasts a few hours so I'll wake up a few hours later.

Trileptal 600mg BID
Buspar 45mg
Seroquel 150-300mg for sleep
Ativan 1mg PRN
Vyvanse 70mg
Risperdal 4-6mg PRN

I don't get msgs unless the other person using tapatalk app!
