> Are there benzo's which work longer than Ativan? Please give me some info on these benzos.Hi,
I once had a family doctor prescribe librium with the thought (however misguided) that it was the least addictive of the benzos.
Librium is very long acting. I found it more effective than ativan. Ativan was like a roller coaster - I felt like I was either getting high or coming down - with little inbetween.
Might also note that the 2 years I took ativan, I abused alcohol something fierce. But when I took librium -everything being equal- I had little desire to drink and went over a year without alcohol.
Now I'm taking the poor man's equivalent - neurotin. Ugh. Seems to work with wellbutrin. My pdoc won't prescribe a benzo.
Hope you get something long-acting. I see my pdoc on the 19th with the hope I can talk him into a very low dose of a long-acting benzo. I would be interested in knowing how you make out with the family doc.
