What's the safest dose of ativan to be taking for a girl who is...?

Question

5'1 , 120lbs, and doesn't eat the most balanced diet.

Yes, currently you could say I"m abusing my prescription. I"m originally on .5mg 3 times a day to tone my anxiety, but it hasn't proven effective and I need to speak with my doctor. But I have taken 4 mg, 5mg at the most by now, because well... it's just been.. a night...

Pass no judgment. I'm just looking for the answer to my question

Answer 1

Well, I don't know your age, but for adults the maximum dose (for anxiety) should be 10mg a day (divided in 3 doses). If you have taken 4mg or 5mg without effect, you should talk to your doctor about what type of anxiety you have, what it is causing it and choose from other options. Depending on your type of anxiety and if it is linked with depression, there may be better options. I hope this helps. Take care.
