> 3-6mg b.i.d. or t.i.d. seems to be an "average" dose, and up to 10mg's a day is listed as being effective at www.rxlist.com

Uh, do you mean 1-2 mg b.i.d. or t.i.d.? 6 mg of Ativan t.i.d. -- 18 mg/day -- would be getting awfully high.

On the other hand, when I was in the hospital (for acute respiratory distress syndrome, cause still unknown) back in February, I'm told I was on 10 mg/hour (IV infusion) at one point and they somehow managed to get me off it. So anything's possible! (IV infusion is different from taking a single dose all at once -- you're getting it continuously.)
