Ativan is a tranqualizer. Yes, it will make you very slow. Are you taking 1mg or .5mg pills? Everyone is different, but I take .5mg to sleep if I've had a terrible day, and 1mg to sleep if I'm really going nuts.
The lithium doesn't kick in immediately. It will keep your moods from going up and down.
If I think that I'm not quite getting what my pdoc is saying I ask him to write down exactly how much of what I'm supposed to take when. That has been really helpful sometimes....
I think they'll move this thread to PsychoBabble - it's the meds board. People there should be able to give you more details.
