Ativan is used in hospitals. It does induce some euphoria IF you have very bad anxiety and it tends to relieve it and gives you feeling of wellbeing and calmness. Klonopin is also used in hospitals but it tends to make people depressed. At least when I took it it made me depressed because it slows down nuerotransmitters and other electrical firing in the nerve endings of the brain.
I suggest you ask for someting called Tranxene. It's a long acting benzo that doesnt have a reputation for being abused. BUT all benzodiapines have a potential for abuse. Just some have less than others. I was Xanax and xanax doesnt last very long and that's why its abused frequently to keep the calming effect of it going. Tranxene is a choice that you have. I just don't know what your doctor would say to this.
Try to stay on ativan if you can't get tranxene.
