> Yes, I'm still taking lorezapam. It's reached the point where it's not doing much for me anymore, and I have to dose every two hours or so when I'm having a bad day. I have a pdoc appt this week and am going to pick his brain, but don't have alot of expectations. How about you?

Hi Barbara. I am trying klonopin, also ativan, at the same time on a low dose SSRI. So far I have been somewhat disappointed. The anxiety has not subsided as much as I'd hoped (on either med) and the sleepiness and burning eyes, spaced-out feelings I get from either of these meds are quite unexpected and unpleasant.
I am still trying to find the right combo/dosing amount. And I am still clinging on to the hope that benzos may work for me. Please let me know what your pdoc says. . .
Good Luck!

> > Hi. Are you still on the lorazepam (generic for ativan, right?), and if you are still taking it, is it still working for you? Did you not find it a problem with having to dose more often on the lorazepam than with the klon/clonezepam? Also, did or do you feel anxiety breakthroughs more on this shorter acting med?
