... has been at an all time high since I had Covid I’m now having long term effects of it so doc prescribed Ativan 1mg and it’s been a total lifesaver I take 1mg once a day for a month and a half now it’s helped so much. I’m worried about withdrawals but I also want to continue as it’s helped me tremendously. I’ve been on and off a few SSRI's and they’ve been a mess so any Ativan 1mg a day success? Thanks in advance
Any Ativan success? Long term and what dose? I’ve been dealing with so much and anxiety

Lorazepam (Ativan) as any benzodiazepine makes you build tolerance fast, so it will hardly help you feel less anxious long term. Withdrawal is terrible so those pills aren't usually prescribed for addiction issues. Don't stop taking it suddenly and ask your doctor about alternatives.
