I took some Xanax for the first time yesterday and had a really bad reaction. It made me hyperactive, disoriented and I couldnt stop trembling. My wife took me to the ER and they had me talk to the social worker, talk about my issues, etc. They then gave me Ativan (sp?) The generic says it is Lorazepam. I am scared to take this now after my bad reaction from yesterday. Has anybody else had a problem taking it? What can I excpect? Thanks!

Sorry I can't help you. Xanax got me through some tough times. I didn't have any problems with it. Maybe the ativan will be different for you or maybe you have a sensitivity to benzos.

I am currently on xanax & have previously been on ativan and have had no problems with either. Try the ativan and if you get a reaction, then worry about it.
