My doctor put me on it three days ago. I have not had more than four hours sleep since SEPT. We figure anxiety is stopping me from sleeping. On .5mg three times a day. Don't feel any different nor sleeping better. What does Ativan feel like?

When I first started taking it it gave me some euphoria and life looked suddenly great. This goes away quickly though and what it does is just numb the anxiety. I suspect many people end up addicted because they chase that feeling.

I was on Valuim once. That was sublime lol

It's possible Ativan isn't the right medication for you then. You could try asking for Valium or Klonopin instead, as a temporary fix to get through this hurdle.

[LeBlond]

Yes perhaps but he won't switch until we've given this a try first

Is there any natural herb or anything that could help?

There is Kava and phenibut, but I would recommend you do some research on them before buying. Most other herbs are pretty ineffective.

Have you tried Seroquel? It's an anti-psychotic drug, it puts me to sleep very well. I used to need 150mg of benadryl, so sleep has never come easy for me.

We tried trazadone and seroquel separately of course. Both made me feel drugged up for days.
