I have been taking ativan for about two years as part of the psych. cocktail for depression and socail anxiety. Over the past months I feel that the dosage 1mg 3 times a day is no longer working and is even starting to make me more anxious. My psych. has started me on Xanax XR, 1 mg 3 times a day. She never had me taper off on the ativan, do I need to do this as I started the XR. I read on the Phizer website that XR takes time to take affect like the anti dep. do, even 2 to 3 weeks?? And I really question her knowledge as she tried to switch me from Effexor to Wellbutrin cold turkey and I about went out of mind. Does anyone have other suggestions instead of Xanax or Ativan.I know they both help, but I know they are both very addictive. But if they work, what is worse?
