My therapist/psychiatrist have yet to identify or label me with a diagnosis. However, tey've prescribed celexa for the time being and now are putting me on Ativan for when my lows get too hard to handle Can anyone shed some light as to the effects of this drug? Personal experience would be much appretiated! Thanks

ativan relaxes the anxiety that you might be experiencing, and your blood level may be imbalance.

It is a tranquilizer that will reduce anxiety, calm you down, and help you sleep. Tranquilizers are also prescribed for some patients with suicidal thoughts. Most of the time, it should only be used on an as-needed basis instead of routine intervals around the clock. It should also only be prescribed on a short term basis, as it can be addictive. But if you need to take it for a time being while you wait for the celexa to kick it, it's a safe and standard drug to use. Take good care and hope you're feeling betters soon!
