Sister, I read your posts a lot but didn't realize that you also were a teacher. I have also experienced word retrieval problems along with the memory problems on Ativan. Of course, it's the only benzo that really takes away the anxiety.

Pink, I will try to take half of the dose. I am just afraid that it won't be enough to combat my anxiety. It's like a catch 22!

Perna, thanks for the helpful information! I didn't realize that the problems have been documented.

Thanks for your help, girls!
