Is that real, name brand, Wyeth Ativan, or a generic lorazepam?
I've posted in several places here how I found the generic essentially ineffective compared to the name brand.
And what I've seen from others is that most for most of the benzos, name brand is significantly better than generic.
Don't forget that Ativan can take from 1 to 4 hours to reach its peak level. If your system is "used to" benzos you may need a higher dose. 0.5 mg of Ativan is about the same "power" as 0.25 mg of Xanax or Klonopin.
