I don't take the medication, but my friend does and she says she takes two 1 mg tablets of ativan (lorazepam) daily!. She says that it does help to calm you, it can work as an antiemetic (for nausea) but it does not make you cry any easier (at least for her)!. The benefits can decrease after taking the medication for a lengthy period and you may have to have your dose adjusted!. Be sure and do not drink alcohol when taking anything like this because alcohol adds to the effect and has resulted in death!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
It doesn't make the sad go away!. That's not its purpose!. It may calm you somewhat but it is only temporary, sort of a band-aid measure if you're really depressed!. Are you sad or depressed!? I wouldn't take it as feel good medication!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm on it on an as needed basis for social anxiety!. It mellows me out when I'm really anxious or stressed!. It actually keeps me from crying sometimes because that's part of my anxiety attacks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
