Ativan is a stronger, version. 1mg is equal to about 10 mg of Valium.It hits hard and leaves the system quickly, I know from experience.You might want to try one timed release like clonopin, it stays in your system longer and tapers off more smoothly.With Ativan, you take it, fall asleep, and a few hours later it will wear off, sometimes leaving you with a hangover and some anxiety.

they're the two sturdy and the two interior an identical type of medicine, so the two may well be sturdy. Ativan is extra effective (it incredibly is given in smaller doses), yet some human beings react extra useful to Valium. As it is your first time with the two, it incredibly is a coin toss.

Both have similar indications and both are benzodiazepines. If you're having trouble finding information online about these two drugs look up their generic name:
Diazepam (Valium)
Lorazepam (Ativan)

both are benzodiazipines, both are sedatives, and both work equally well in different situations. By the way, both are powerfully addictive.
