well, just wondering if anyone out there could lend some insight as to a question about the difference in effects. went to ER today for a kidney stone. didn't want narcotics but ended up hyperventilating due to pain, anxiety based, i guess. they gave me Xanax. wow..i really didn't think it was that potent, as i immediately felt relief, and was able to stand the pain with relatively mild narcs (1 oxycodone 5 mg). i remember quite a few years back when my father died, the Doc was good enough to prescribe Ativan for a weeks time to help me sleep. now i thought that was fairly strong because it put me to sleep within 20 mins or so. always believed xanax was shorting acting and not as intense. but personal experience now changes my opinion. any thoughts, personal experience, etc.?? i am now finding that clinical reports and personal experience are two totally different things...Thx...
