I'm on .5 mg of Ativan 3x a day, plus Lexapro. Remember, with any med YMMV, so maybe what you are taking is correct for you. That much Ativan would put me to sleep all day. On any med I take I always talk to the doc about taking the minimum that works. Nothing is "too" much if it works and doesn't turn you into a zombie. -- ========== Please DELETE this text block when replying! ========== Contact the moderators at: asapm-board(a)stump.algebra.com The charter is available at: http://readystump.algebra.com/~asapm ========= This notice is added to each approved article ==========

From: Copper on 10 Aug 2008 04:31 Out of curiousity, why do you take 4mg of Ativan at night, are you using it as a sleep aid? If so, how long have you been taking it that way? That seems like a large dose in comparison to what you take (spread out) during the day.
