I was on Ativan, but wound up being hooked on it and started abusing it. I'm now on Clonazapam which doesn't have the immediate hit of Ativan but is longer lasting so you don't get the same downs. I'm supposed to be taking 1 mg 3 times a day and 2 mg at night.

I always remember the 2 mg at night. But frequently forget the daily dosages so I'd say most days I only take 1 mg during the day and take 2 mg maybe 2 -3 times a week.

I've also found mindfullness meditation to be incredibly helpful in lowering my anxiety levels. Just something else to consider.
