Difference between Xanax and Lorazepan

I took .25 mg. f Xanax yesterday morning and it made me feel much better. I took the same of Lorazepan this morning and felt no difference. Is it because I switched from one to the other?

I used Xanax for many years, my wife has used Ativan and still does, everyone is a
little different, you can get by with Xanax alone as I did, but I also had therapy "group"
and it really made a difference.
I didn't use Xanax for anxiety, I used it to head off panic attacks, it allowed me to work
and function, I got to where I was able to take some panic head on because I knew I could
shut it down when I needed to. I would use half a pill to stop panic from dominating my
work day, then in the evening I would take the other half at bed time and read a book, next thing I would know I was asleep, I wish you Peace.

C.D.

These meds are in the same family...but as stated above, they are of differing potency, efficacy (time for effectivness) and half life.

Were your Rx's prescribed by the same doctor? I would think that you should stick to one benzodiazapine for safety and best results.

Bottom line...if you have questions regarding your meds...a call to your doctor (or pharmacist) is your best move.:)
