If anexity for long time just taking adivan and not really testing the cose can u be on panic at all times?

Try something new: Sounds like long standing anxiety isn't being very well controlled with ativan (lorazepam). You might want to try a different approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise therapy, and a completely different category of medication that could be helpful in the prevention of anxiety. Symptoms like these deserve a full evaluation in person by your health care provider.
