"0.5 mg lorazepam. This is awesome when a serious meltdown is brewing and skills are really, really hard to use. My prescriber is great and only gives me 12/month and said to only use it when I truly need it, which is what I do, being aware of tolerance issues others are reporting here. Sort of 'in case of an emergency,' so I don't even use the 12, which I know is in my best interests. When I use it, it just feels like I feel functional again and can get back to life without having this mess of terrible thoughts in my mind preventing me from doing *everything*. I definitely recommend this for those 'in case of emergencies' times."

"I have taken Ativan off and on for about 5 years. I take 2 mg a couple of hours before bed (6ish). I have nightmares from past abuse (severe adolescent abuse, smothered by a family member, neglected). I'm a 36-year-old female who had been diagnosed with BPD and PTSD. I only take Ativan. It helps. Tolerance does build up every few weeks, I cut my doses, taper, and readjust. This medicine works for me and my mental health."

"Excellent for dealing with anxiety-induced panic attacks, helped regulate mood swings, and really helped with sleep. However, tolerance builds up quickly, and addiction is a serious concern. As such, it helped only as a short-term solution to bridge the gap into a more stable regiment of medication."

"I usually tolerate this class of medications pretty well, but not this one. Does it make me drowsy? Lower heart rate? Yes. My instability gets cranked up to 11, though, and I stop making any sense to the people around me."
