I'm just wondering about lorazepam's usefulness in these conditions (or 'this condition', as some would have it). I've read somewhere a brief allusion to Klonopin and Ativan being the best studied benzodiazepines for SP, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any accessible research on the topic? Personal experiences would also be appreciated... thanks a bunch!

P.S. I already take Klonopin, Ativan, Xanax, and Valium... I'm just trying to do my homework, if you know what I mean.

I don't have SP, but I can at times be extremely anti-social. I love ativan, when I take it I am so carefree and sociable it is almost embarassing. It gives me some euphoria. I tried Klonopin, and it was a very frightening experience for me. I will never take that crap again. It made my status panicus worse if that is possible. I came very close to blowing my head off after taking that stuff. But I know it can be a life saver for some people. I obviously can't take it.
I try not to take ativan very often, because it saves my life when I get status panicus, which unfortunately for me can last a week or more, but only comes every 5 years or so. If that didn't work, I wouldn't last. The only problem when I am like that is the ativan only last about 4 hours. When I am just a little stressed the ativan will last almost all day.
