A member asked:
Does .5 of atavan last longer or shorter th .25 xanax (alprazolam)? which is stronger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ativan (lorazepam): Ativan has a longer duration of action than Xanax (alprazolam). Xanax (alprazolam) spikes up and goes away. Ativan will remain in your system most of the day. I hope this helps.
