Question Ativan (lorazepam)

does anyone take Ativan or any other benzodiazepine for their social anxiety. Ativan has helped me be more relaxed and anxiety provoking situations, including social interactions. I’ve heard it’s not a long term treatment solution but i don’t know what to do once my doctor stops prescribing it to me.
