mrsloony Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I've read here that some people are prescribed ativan (lorazepam) sublingually. i've always thought i was supposed to swallow it like any other pill. What is the difference? pros or cons?? thanks mrsl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosty Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Sub goes right into the blood stream and acts within minutes.. Great for Panic attacks.. The other acts like any other benzo.. taking time to act and lasting a bit longer If you are about to freak - sub is the best .. If you just need a daily reg anti - anxiety agent regular ativan is fine and steady.. I take both.. Frosty.. super anxious person- before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
