Hi, Anita.

My doctor also recommended Ativan. Once I know when the simulation is, I will request it. I normally take a low dose of clonazepam, three times a day, just to keep me level. When I go in for any procedures, like endoscopy (for example), it usually takes twice the normal dose to put me out. My mother is the same way. I guess I'm hard to sedate...haha!

Thanks for the advice. I'm glad it works.
