My doctor always paid strict attention to how whether or not
I was taking Ativan AS prescribed.
The risk of abuse is very high among patients.

I never took more than what he told me too and it worked
very well for me for years, however, my body got used to it
and it stopped working for me.

Thus he switched my medication to a different class of drug,
Klonopin. (ON EDIT: My mistake, Klonopin is a benzo, but a much longer acting one)

I am extremely happy with it so far.

Talk to your doctor about the alternatives to Zanax and other benzos
as he/she is most likely concerned about you becoming addicted and possibly
abusing medication; it happens and doctors are pretty careful about making sure
you don't end up with a worse problem than what you sought help with
in the first place.

Good luck!
