Christine,
If you just take it on an as-needed basis and maybe not more than once a week, you should be fine. Sometimes just having it along with you is enough to make you feel better. At least you know you'll have it if you need it.

Just took ativan
Yes I agree. It did not seem to do much yesterday anyway. I took it. I had anxiety about taking it then I did not feel much of a change. I guess because I was not in such an anxious state when I took it. I don't know. At least now I know I can take it IF I need it. I have to make this trip. I wish I could go and have a good anxiety free time.
don't really like to take anything else than xanax (it does wonders!) when required. I have tried many other different benzos over the course of 7yrs and xanax is the only one that has worked, though yes it is very addictive. I freak out if i don't carry it around...Hope you your trip goes well. Karita
