In reply to Valium- how to ask, posted by cpallen79 on July 15, 2004, at 19:21:15
> I suffer from anxiety/depression/OCD/ADD. My PDOC actualyl volunarily described Ativan to me without my askign for it! (she knows I'm not crazy about Benzos but actually wants me to have them for anxiety on hand). I would prefer to have Valium as it is a lower potency benzo. How do I ask her to perscribe that instead after I already picked up the Ativan pills? I don't want her to think I'm trying to get benzos off her, because I'm not. What do you guys think?
Ativan takes from 1 to 4 hours to reach its peak, so wouldn't seem good for "PRN" usage in reacting to something.
Does your doctor want you to take it on a continual basis so that there simply is no anxiety?
