In combination with Risperidone, it made me a little drowsy. Since changing from Cipralex to Celexa, I haven't had any panic attacks or needed to take Ativan.

Advice & Tips
Was particularly helpful for panic attacks at the end of the school term and during finals. I did find it slowed me down a little bit.

Advice & Tips
I have been prescribed 1mg of Lorazepam up to 4 times daily as and when required. I ALWAYS carry 4 tablets with me just in case. I find that if I do not have them with me I panic even more that I may need one! So far I have only had to take a Lorazepam moderately when out and about. I find that it used to work wonders but now only takes the edge of my anxiety and panic. Maybe this is because I am building up a tolerance to this medication or maybe my GAD is getting worse, I do not know.

I only take Ativan when I feel a panic attack coming on that the Xanax doesn't control. Ativan really helps to calm me down but the nezt day, I have no energy.
