He prescribed me 0.5mg twice a day.
I took one and I feel much better. Calmer and focused. Tomorrow I’m going to try 0.25 mg in the morning.

I’m supposed to take 3 10mg diazepam daily. Usually, I only take them at bedtime. They help to calm my racing thoughts. Otherwise, I either can’t sleep or take forever to fall asleep. I’m glad your benzo helped you. I know they can be bad, but I think sometimes they are necessary.

My psychiatrist prescribed me the same thing @mermaid1.
0.5mg 2x daily.
But I’m managing without.
Maybe I’ll start with 0.25mg as well.

Its the only thing that helps my paranoia.
Try to take it as a PRN and you wont have to deal with addiction and withdrawal.
Good luck @mermaid1.

I stopped taking it because I was taking too much. It works great. Just be cautious

I’m not allowed benzos anymore because I once took 60 ativan.

I take 1mg a day. It really helps.
I feel like I need more at the moment but I don’t want to mess with it so I take an AP as a prn instead.
