User Comments about Ativan
16 Mar 2009 This benzo is a joke! Doc's are just being cautious by trying these alternatives, thus, not having to prescribe Xanax, Valium, etc. Stand up and tell your doc the truth if isn't working the way you would think

18 Nov 2008 this is a great drug. it was prescribed for anxiety, but i use it predominantly to help me sleep.
