Here is my situation, I noticed the xanax didnt work for me anymore, even thought i was on the strongest amount, i sffer both depression and anxiety attacks.
MyDoctor prescribed me Lorazepam and told me to stop taking the prozac an xanax as this medicine is alot stronger an it will work, im very nervous, i started taking the lorazepam 4g, and i dont feel any different, can someone tell me how long it takes for this medicine to kick in, im also nervous as hell, my doctor swears by it, if anyone can give me advice let me know.
I did some research on wikipedia . For an oral dose of lorazepam, you are looking at 90-120 minutes before you reach "peak serum levels" but you should feel the effects before then.
Personally I have only taken .5 to 1 mg of Ativan (lorazepam) on an as-needed basis. I found that it helped me relax but didn't notice much effect... for 4 mg, you will feel it for sure, I think/hope.
I have been on zanax and prozac for yrs
