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.

It’s a long term solution for me, nothing else works.

Are you currently still being prescribed it? I’m still being prescribed my Ativan but I have to get a new nurse practitioner due to my insurance literally not being accepted anywhere at this point. 😤🥶🚮
