A member asked:
I take .5mg ativan for anxiety on an as needed basis. if i'm taking it once every 3 weeks or so, is that too much? will i become addicted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
0.5 mg Ativan is a: very low dose and taking it as needed every three weeks or so will not lead to addiction. If you have not yet developed/reviewed anxiety management strategies you may want to check out websites such as https://www.adaa.org/tips-manage-anxiety-and-stress. Best regards for good health.
