Ativan 2 Mg (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

If I have been taking Ativan 2mg 4 times per day for 8 years and it is obviously lost it's affectiveness, would changing to Xanax 2mg 4 times a day be the next step? Valium does not help at all. (Take Ativan for PTSD) I've worked in the medical field for 20 years and was not aware that Xanax came in a 2mg pill......seems like a lot!)

No, it probably wouldn't make a difference, there is no dose conversion between the Lorazepam in the Ativan and the Alprazolam in the Xanax, they are considered equivalent to each other.

There is, however, a 3mg extended release Xanax available. From other posts that have been made here, it seems that a lot of people that have grown tolerant to their current dosage have had success switching to the extended release. Some in the same dosage and some in a higher one, so you may want to talk to your doctor about it.

There is no time release formulation of the Ativan and 2mgs is the maximum it's available in.

And as to working in the medical field and not being aware of specific medication details, that is completely normal. Few medical personnel study drugs as in-depth as pharmacists and many doctors are not aware of all the side effects a particular drug can cause or all the dosages and forms available.

Is there anything else I can help with?
