Yes, Ativan is way to addictive to stay on for too long!. You also build up a tolerance to it, meaning you are going to need more of it in the future to have the same affect!. Sudden withdrawal from long term use of Ativan or any other benzo is dangerous!

Also, long term use will cause you to act strange and forget lots of things!. (that was to explain it easily)

Ativan is used for anxiety!. It may help with depression cause it gets you a little high but you are better off finding the right anti-depressant for you!. You may have to try 3 or 4 different drugs in order to feel better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ativan is to treat anxiety, not depression!. If you go to the doc asking specifically for ativan he/she may see thru you!. It is an addictive drugWww@Answer-Health@Com
