I was on Ativan but it didn't help much. So my Dr. put me on these Klonopin wafers. They melt under your tongue and magic, bye-bye anxiety! She also has me take one if I feel a seizure coming on and it can stop it if you catch it early enough. Good luck 💜.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , A few years ago when I had a really bad anxiety attack & we didn’t know what was going on, we went to the hospital & they gave me Ativan & it helped to calm me down & I had a few more attacks that week & my Mom had to help give them to me during those attacks. The Ativan made me tired though. It worked great for me, it just made me tired. But I only took it for those Anxiety attacks. I don’t know anything about long term use of Ativan.

Resting helps me. And a low fat diet high in fresh veggies and fruit! With all due respect, no thank you to anti anxiety meds, alcohol and CBD stuff. Walking 30-45 minutes daily - even in my home up and down stairs with my dogs - helps me sleep.

It can be used as a rescue med in some cases ask the Dr which rescue med you should carry make sure that you have information that will tell EMT'S on you

Ativan was used to stop one of mine in the ER
