i would suggest saving it for rough days, and take a mg or two during those times. I think ativan is dubbed "not recreational" because it isn't really a party drug like booze or coke. But when you take ativan, you have no worries and feel warm all over. i guess if you didn't have any worries before hand, that wouldn't be all that great. If your idea of a "recreational" drug is something great to get fucked up on when you are bored, ativan is not, if your idea of a "recreational" drug is something that will make you feel good and help you temporarily escape the toils of life, ativan is.
lorazepam may not be great for getting you all fucked up, but when I am having a hard day ativan is GOD, smooth and warm, better than xanax by leaps n' bounds. I've never just taken it when i am bored because i do not have enough to spare for such situations, but i feel like benzo's in general, including xanax, are shitty for just getting fucked up.
but benzos are a very subjective class of drugs...

what's so insane about it? i have a daily xanax script and i could easily see myself getting by without it.
then stop taking it... have a drink or smoke a bowl before bed, maybe even take a unisom or look into lunesta. if that won't do it, then you need benzos to make it through day to day life, and that's insane.
