I'm wondering what the typical dose of Ativan for anxiety is? My doctor prescribed .5 mg a while ago, but this seems low to me. Anyone?

that's what I was prescribed, didn't really do much, so my Pdoc bumped it to 1mg, works for me...

I'm feeling so bored and hopeless. I just want to go to sleep. I'm thinking of taking more just to get to sleep (because I've already slept most of the day), but don't know how much is safe. I thought of taking six.

Tell your PDOC to give you a decent dose. Hell I take 2mgs 3times a day plus 6 mgs of Klonopin (same family) I'm addicted but who cares it helps....Hugs and G/L

So I am okay if I am taking 2.5 to 3 mg a day?

I started off at a low dose also and it didn't do the job for me. I take 1 mg now and it helps me when I need it. I hear that 2 mg is what they use for sleep issues sometimes. I never took more than perscribed. I am to chicken of pills and what they will do to me. I would tell the doc that it is not doing it for you. But if it is working it is good because you can build a tollerance to it after using it awhile and will have to keep going up and soon it will no longer be effective for you. Well I can't say this happens to everyone. But I know myself I notice a tollerance if I take it to often. So now I only take it when I really need to.. good luck

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
