Benzo monotherapy is typically seen for folks who suffer from panic attacks. Are you also on combination therapy with an SSRI, TCA, or some other antidepressant?

The antidepressant would work to control the cognitive symptoms of anxiety while the shorter-acting benzo would work to control the physical symptoms.
So far no. Just the lorazepam and we meet again in 2 weeks

Surprised youre not on a mood stabilizer + antidepressant first if anger outbursts are the issue, but I might not know the whole story.

Yeah, be careful with Ativan and make absolutely fucking sure whoever prescribed it to you knows anything else you take. Full disclosure.

Interactions suck; a friend of mine came out of inpatient with a medication interaction triggering drop seizures. He pretty much can't go to shows or play retro games thanks to strobes now.

Or at least talk to your pharmacist and they can make required changes if need be.

It may depend on whether the TC's psychiatrist is actually doing their job if they're just a pill farm.
