Help with Better Anxiety Relief!

I have been taking Ativan 1mg 4 times a day for very much time. It doesn't seem to be working as well as it use to. It gets worse closer to evening and when I first get out of bed. I also have panic attacks. I am looking for either suggestions for a better medication and/or natural/vitamin supplements????? I am also a teacher and all the uncertainty and fear about starting school reopening. At times I feel like I am just going to explode.

Hi PokemonGo, Unfortunately, we all react differently to medication.

Personal suggestions can't guarantee it will work for you. I found long ago

that meds are but a "trial and error" feat. Have a talk with your doctor

regarding the Ativan. When mine didn't work anymore, I was weaned off

them and put on Lexapro (SSRI). For me, it's been a godsend. Wish you well :) xx

Ativan never did anything for me. I've been an anxiety sufferer for many years. I'm currently taking Klonopin 1 mg 3 x daily...the best I've taken yet. It has a long half life meaning it stays in your system a long time.
