If you don't feel better within a few days, go back to your Dr.
Hope this helps ((((hugs))))
You are going to take the .5 2 times a day, it is nothing, it is there to help you while you get on the Lexapro, when the Lexapro starts working 4- weeks for some sooner you can stop the Ativan, it's not enough to get addicted too!
You will get relief from the Ativan even at that low of a dose... try it fora day and see? if you don't like it call your doctor.... :-))))
You can do it, I did and I am still here...
