Difference Between Xanax & Ativan?

I have taken both Xanax and Ativan. This is what I noticed personally the difference between the two and what they did to me.

Amazing video.. It’s crazy how many people go through so much traumas from this abusive drugs. Fentanyl addiction actually destroyed my life, i suffered severe depression and mental disorder, not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

I’m 63 and suffered with Anxiety most my life…..I do best on Xanax and have no intention of coming off…at this point I’m not worried about addiction! Anxiety is HELL Do what works!

It's like your brain starts to breathe. PRECISELY. Also, Ativan lets me think things through.

I’m on Xanax works far better then Ativan, also I’m only prescribed 15 tablets a month, I only use it when I have to, I suffer from PTSD

[clauderodrigue]

You pretty much nailed it. I remember Xanax as a hard hitting bliss whereas Ativan gets your head over the clouds very gradually. It makes you feel as your better normal self. But If you take 2-3 times the prescribed dose, you'll start doing nonsense things. Like :

- cleaning the kitchen appliances at 3 am
- disassemble any loudspeakers to try to make them better
- drive your car late at night to find your favorite chocolate
- install your large telescope in the street to observe deep sky objects

The problem at higher doses is desinhibition. You start doing things you would never normally do. You could as well call sick at your job for 2 days, only to found yourself doing these nonsical activities that serves nothing.

Xanax knocked me out. I would be asleep in 15 min. Ativan I could work and function and not have 20 panic attacks. My Son died and I have been on xanax didnt work Kolonopin made me want to die Ativan finally helped me want to live again.

It's nice to see you talking about anxiety and life chalenges as a man because not many do.

I am currently on Ativan an Valium plus other sedating meds. Withing 10 years I lost 4 of my closest family members and a friend, with little emotiinal support. I wouldn't be able to function and not be medicated.

I havnt tried Ativan, I've been on and off Xanax for 24 years. I'm 63, and sometimes, like you, it gets too much. I've had up to 7mg a day, now I'm down to 2, sometimes a lot more to say but it's triggering for me. I'm sick of the Judges in this world, live in my head and let's see how you do....
Thanks for the video. Xx

Thanks for sharing. I used to take lorazepam every day when the ssri didn’t work for me for years. I took smart pills too, piracetam, to give me motivation under the influence of sedatives. It is a mild nootropics pills. Now, when the psychiatrist changed to use remeron than ssri, I am good with remeron. And I finally can get rid of sedatives, or only take them in special occasions.

Had a panic attack 2 years ago at work and it totally changed my life for the worse. I admitted myself into the ER because I initially thought I was having a heat attack. Laid in bed off days crying for no reason. The doctor proscribed me lorazepams the first time I visited him. About 2 weeks later the panic attacks totally stoped “never took any of the meds because of how addicted I herd benzos could be. Fast forward 2 years later and out of no where I’m having panic attacks. Dry heaving, gagging, feel like a lump is in my throat, can’t breath. Been feeling like this for a week now and so hard to not take anything for it. I have very addictive personality and don’t wana get sucked in. I have 2 children, a gorgeous wife and a house we almost own now. The brain chemicals are a weird thing.

It doesn’t matter how much you trust your plug, street xans are unacceptable. Go to the doctor and stop being lazy.

I’ve been on both drugs and I guess I never really thought much about the differences between the two. My doctor said that Xanax has some antidepressant characteristics. I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression in 1990. But I approach this subject from a different angle. I got badly addicted to both drugs. Withdrawal was living Hell. There’s no other way to describe it. My Primary told me that Benzo withdrawal is worse than Heroin withdrawal and Opioid withdrawal. When I came off Ativan I couldn’t eat solid food for nearly a month! You absolutely could not pay me to take either drug again, and I strongly discourage anyone from taking either. Just one man’s dreadful experience! 🤔

[freedomfthought]

All meds you take daily are addicting in a way bc one takes them daily.
The stigma benzos are addictive should change to they are very hard to come off of . All pills are technically daily / addicting

[crystalkelley]

Unfortunately my mother in law struggled with addiction of benzodiazepines and she passed because she got prescribed three different benzodiazepines and she would take more and more and sleep loose track of time pill addiction killed her

[ortegajon]

Ativan ftw. I've been on ativan for years it's helpful

[BreakBeats-wggn]

I find the people that have the biggest problems with benzos are the people who are addicted to them and take to many as they then can’t live life without them and become dependent on them and it’s almost impossible to get them of them and live life normally again….I was prescribed them to use therapeutically which I found have been great for my mental health I have chronic PTSD and I find taking 10-15 mg twice a week with a couple of whiskeys is extremely relaxing and gives me a chance to clear my mind…
If they are working for you and you don’t keep upping your dose to the point where they are not working anymore then keep taking them and enjoy your life as life is short and you deserve to be happy.

[cameronrarden]

I've had terrible anxiety my whole life. My doctors won't ever prescribe me benzos though because I had a drug hospitalization when I was in highschool so now they consider me a drug addict

[SHAHRAZAD]

Why the doctors are so scared to prescribe it? They stopped mine and now I have a panic attack every single day.

[Stephenlivingston]

I’ve been taking Ativan for almost 3 years just got my dosage increased 1mg four times a day
