Hi corafree :-)
Lorazepam (Ativan) isn't any safer than any of the other benzos in general....... but I do prefer it personally. Everyone who has tried a variety of different benzos seems to have a favourite one....... I prefer lorazepam but other people might prefer alprazolam, clonazepam, diazepam, bromazepam etc. I also prefer diazepam (Valium) to Xanax.
Since you don't seem to have responded very well to Xanax or Klonopin I suppose your pdoc is wary of giving you a different benzo. Perhaps you would see a greater improvement with a different type of medication altogether!
Regards,
Ed.
