I have been taking ativan off and on for almost a year. I do not feel as though i am addicted at all. It helps to relax me if i feel an anxiety attack coming on. I take .5mg as needed. Sometimes i take half of that in one day, sometimes i take a whole .5 and some days i dont take it at all. I have never noticed any withdrawl symptoms. There are some weeks i will take 1 a day then go for a week with none. It has been a life saver for me. I guess everyone responds differently to medicine.
