> My psychiatrist didn't even want to go beyond the minimal dose with Ativan because he's a scared a**hole. Doesn't want to prescribe anything anymore. I told him I felt better at 1mg but he didn't want to give it to me until finally he said ok.
Wyeth's own prescribing info for Ativan says that 2 - 3 mg per day is the initial dose, and gives a high range from 6 - 10 mg per day, so what is he looking at as a reference?
(In other words, he may be giving you a sub-therapeutic dose.)
