i tried ativan before i got on xanax and it made me really, really depressed the next day. i was like a zombie.
thank you for saying that. just for the record, i was pretty anti-med for myself for a long time. the first psychiatrist i saw (had to go through a psych before i could see a regular therapist for insurance purposes) i refused to go back because he wanted to put me on paxil. i waited a year and a half before i actually started taking drugs.
on the topic of ativan/xanax vs klonopin/valium she really would just have to see what works for her. like i said ativan made me depressed, and valium makes me not give a shit if i make a dollar or not. sure it calms my anxiety but i personally wouldnt recommend working on it. so in terms of which drug would be best for her that she could work on, that's something she'd have to see for herself.
yeah, it is definitely just a matter of trying the drugs out for yourself because different shit reacts differently with different people.
i had a friend who fucking LOVED paxil, but when my doc put me on it to treat my anxiety (wasn't even on it for depression, just anxiety), within 5 days i was a basketcase, couldn't leave my house, was randomly bursting into tears and was having some really messed up suicidal thoughts.
unless i take too many or drink alcohol when i take them, i don't ever get any kind of yucky feelings from ativan the next day. xanax almost always gives me a groggy, lifeless feeling the next day though. valium puts me straight to sleep, but an old workmate used to love working on it.
the only way to ever get a definitive answer as to what anti-anxiety medication is best for you is to try them out for yourself and see how your body reacts to different dosages.

I havent even heard of Klonopin before. I will ask my doctor about some of these medications. Thank-you for the suggestions. ;)

they probobly wont give you klonopin unless you have tried other benzos first since its the strongest. the first week i took it i was litterally drooling on myself and falling off of sidewalks and falling down walking till my dosages got evened out.

Did this happen whenever you didn't take one?
No, I was told to take 2-3 a day depending on the symptoms, I never took less than two pills a day and it had the opposite reaction of what it was trying to do.

caffiene makes anxiety worse in the long run so does alcohol.

Those energy drinks make me more likely to have a panic attack so I avoid them.
