In reply to Ativan's place in treatment of SP/AvPD?, posted by Ame Sans Vie on January 19, 2003, at 12:45:35
I don't have SP, but I can at times be extremely anti-social. I love ativan, when I take it I am so carefree and sociable it is almost embarassing. It gives me some euphoria. I tried Klonopin, and it was a very frightening experience for me. I will never take that crap again. It made my status panicus worse if that is possible. I came very close to blowing my head off after taking that stuff. But I know it can be a life saver for some people. I obviously can't take it.
I try not to take ativan very often, because it saves my life when I get status panicus, which unfortunately for me can last a week or more, but only comes every 5 years or so. If that didn't work, I wouldn't last. The only problem when I am like that is the ativan only last about 4 hours. When I am just a little stressed the ativan will last almost all day.
