Xanax puts me to sleep. Lorazepam (Ativan) keeps me up and feeling depressed all day and the following day... It seems like most people enjoy Ativan. Does it make anyone else feel depressed and almost sickly? I've used it a few times in doses of 1mg, 2mg, 4mg and 6mg. Somewhere I read it was soluble in water so I tried that to see, it was still far too powdery-looking to seem safe. Maybe I missed something in breaking it down. I'm just trying to find the appeal, but it looks like it just might not like me.
 
yea same here... i never enjoyed benzos ..all they do is make me sleep .. and lots of sleeping can oftenly be associated with depression ...
 
Plenty of people dislike benzos... myself among them. Both I and a number of people I know have noticed they have a pronounced "down" effect, making it easier to get depressed.
They're great anxiolytics, but honestly I've never seen where the recreational value is in them.
 
This was definitely the last time I'll ever taken Ativan... I took 4mg earlier today and feel horrible at this point. Last chance ;)
 
Sure they make people depressed, my sister even tried to kill herself(sort of) on ativan. But if you get several people together with a high dose, you'll be amazed at the fun ideas that will pop in to your head. Hey, if you took 4mg, you should be stumbling into things and passing out probably. But you won't notice it...until someone tells you you are. :)
 
I now understand the concept of "being high and not even knowing it." Yesterday I was stumbling around and slurring my speech, I had no idea. Finally a freind asked me what I had taken and was being really persistent about it. Kept dinging me and asking over and over until finally I went to the bathroom and vomitted the nothing I had in my stomach out. As if I'd taken a lot of Xanax yesterday, I can't really remember any of it to the point where I'm not really sure everything I remember happened. Sounds like an overstatement for 4mg. Oh well, it was NOT fun. I slept something like 20 hours. I'm not really seeing it as a recreational drug anymore as some see it. Why can't it all be Xanax? ;)
