P, I found Ativan to be very smooth and effective. Unlike Xanax, which gave me bad headaches and withdrawal in between doses.
I think I'd keep the Valium on board (maybe lower the dose a bit) and slowly replace the Xanax with Ativan.. Figure out how much you need... my experience was that I needed Xanax three times a day, and Ativan twice a day (though sometimes I could get away with once a day and feel fine). HTH.
> Orbital in what way do you find ativan different as my xanax and valium no longer work? I was once told to switch to different benzo if they stopped working and have a full bottle of ativan? If on l0mg of valium and spilting dose of xanax lmg in thirds what would you do. I have permission from pdoc to do what I feel is right for me? Sorry hyjack. Phillipa
