A member asked:
So would it make sense to come off ativan and go on skelaxin (metaxalone)? i dont feel anxiety in my head. i feel insane tension in my body

Anxiety: I understand your distress. Ativan helps with anxiety and tension. “Insane tension in the body” indicates insufficient dose of Ativan, (lorazepam) lack of resolution of stresses of relationship, marriage, separation, work and finances or new stressors in life at this time. Skelaxin can cause nervousness or irritability. See a Psychiatrist soon for Diagnosis, Therapy, Medication, Relaxation, Meditation.

My dr recently switched me from ativan to klonopin (clonazepam) for anxiety. I have to take a red eye this week and would prefer to use ativan (more sedating). How long do I have to wait after taking the klonopin (clonazepam) before that would be ok?
