Xanax vs. Ativan

Posted by jealibeanz on January 27, 2007, at 14:24:07

What is the general consensus on the efficacy and side effects of Xanax vs. Ativan?

Which is more likely to cause drowsiness?

How long does Ativan last? Xanax seems to only work for about 2 hours with me know. I've become tolerant of the medication, as I take it 4 times daily.

Would switching allow me to get therpeutic benefits without going above the recommended maximum? I need continuous coverage and cannot tolerate SSRI's, thus, for now, benzo's are what my doctor and I have agreed upon for GAD.

Is Ativan known to cause depression? Klonopin did with me, but Xanax does not. Isn't Ativan more similar in chemical makeup to Xanax?
