Your mind is thinking of other things all at the same time. I know this feeling do it myself. Distracting thoughts. As my pdoc says all symptoms of ocd, anxiety. Phillipa

Personally now I don't think I could take that much but in the past I could. Anxiety better now I guess. Phillipa

3mg per day of Ativan isnt an especialy high dose, if you need that much, i wouldnt be worried.
if you need a benzo every day, i would suggest taking an antidepressant (either one of the SSRI's or mirtazapine) to help try and manage your anxiety with less reliance on benzos. That said, for some people, me included, daily benzo use is essential to leading a normal productive life, if thats the case, accept it and dont worry.

I take zyprexa for anxiety. and forgetfullness. The forgetfullness seems to be a product of my scizoaffective. Thats my suggestion.
