I am wondering if anyone out there uses lorazepam to help cope with panic attacks, and if so, how do you use it?

I have a prescription for lorazepam and I use it when I feel a panic attack coming on. Or, if I know I will be in a situation where I am likely to have a panic attack, I take it shortly before I am in the situation. Usually I'll take it in .5mg increments (hypothetically, before and during a situation). I have a hard time noticing the effects (sometimes I feel like its not working!) so...

I am just looking for advice from other users on how you administer the drug and what dosages used. thanks!

Xanax is alprazolam not lorazepam. Lorazepam is ativan. .5 mg is pretty much the standard starting dose for Xanax, but I dunno much about ativan.

Peace
