Lorazepam "I am going on a 14-hour plane trip and wanted a sedative. I hate flying, especially on long flights across the world. I got Ativan. I took one (.5) before bedtime before I left home to see how it worked and how strong it was. Sadly, I got zip out of it. I am super sensitive to meds. I take an aspirin, and I know in 5 minutes I am 'medicated.' So I am majorly disappointed. Now I am even more anxious about my trip. Ugh."
