Ativan Vs Xanax

Updated

If Xanax and Ativan are both benzodiazapines, why did the Ativan work to relieve anxiety without causing depression but the Xanax didn't?

It really depends on the person and how your body reacts to it.

Just as an example, I'm fine with a low dose .5mg of Ativan, but if I take anything higher it makes me depressed and I feel very groggy for several days afterwards. However, there are other people that use it just fine without any problems.

You really just have to figure out what works for you.

Thank you for the information. It was helpful. How long have you taken Ativan? I also experienced the mild depression when I took a bit extra. I hate drugs and don't have an addictive nature. However, I am a little afraid of getting off ativan just yet because the anxiety is still there. It's only been about three weeks so far. I am taking HRT to help with the anxiety.

Two totally dffrent drugs.There are drugs known as Roxycodion. Or Roxy . I had major surgery they gave me those . It's a combo of Oxy, percs. , Tylenol. Really strong. I wish oxycontin was illegal. I have watched it destroy people. I get sad watching addiction happen. When I see people slowly going from Vicodin , then Norco, then OXY. You might reconsider taking Oxy at all.
