You are on a pretty low to average, yet very effective dose..i would stay right there as long as you are getting good benefits at that dose.
I was on Ativan for 25 years and for many years i was on 1 mg. t.i.d., i prefered the 3 times a day because of ativans short half life, i felt morning, noon and evening doses gave me good "coverage." After many years, i began to build up tolerance to ativan and my dose was increased to 6 mgs. t.i.d., sometimes 8-10 mgs (high dose) if my anxiety was really bad.

It's a good benzo. I hope it helps you a lot. And my advice would be, keep the dose low, and don't stay on it too long (if possible). But better than my advice..do what your pdoc says to do. ;)
