Not understanding how Ativan works

Posted by Girlnterrupted78 on September 8, 2009, at 12:04:52

I started taking Ativan 1mg and I just have no idea when does it start working, what does it do, or whether it is working or not.
I just feel more sleepy on it. I was so tired that I decided to cut the dose in half and take 0.5mg instead and that's ok but still makes me a bit sleepy.
I used to take Xanax and Klonopin and I could tell when I was sedated on them. But not with Ativan.
Does anyone here take Ativan? Could someone sort of tell me what it does for you and any details about when it starts working, how long it lasts, how does it compare to Klonopin and Xanax, etc?
Does it really help for social anxiety, or are Xanax and Klonopin superior?
Thanks
