Overall, Ativan is just better in general. I dont use it for any certain situations besides when I’m nervous or just want to feel a little benzo. Xanax knocks me on my ass too hard so I stopped taking them. If I am looking for something recreational and i decide on ativan I have to take a very large dose of it to get smacked in the face by it and start drooling a little, yk the benzo feel. Even w an extremely small tolerance i still need a high dose. It works great though for anxiety, one of the better benzos to take when in social situations or around other people. Never been an asshole or embarrassed myself using Ativan for that. Xanax is a different story however. if I take klonopin and try to function in that way I will stumble around a good amount even if Im not slurring or feel fucked up.
I use stims a lot and klonopin actually works the best for me in terms of benzos when I’m crashing. my body will feel extremely relaxed and my head will clear a little more. No irritation or headaches or anger. It also is not debalitating so I have some energy to prep some food or read a book, respond to work stuff, etc before I get some rest. Don’t know if that’s your thing, just how it goes for me. Everyone will react differently obviously but i think generally Ativan is a better and more useful benzo compared to kpins. Recreationally it will knock you on your ass if you take enough.
Stay Safe!
