    Xanax will not likely cause anxiety rather it kills it pretty effectively. It's potent so use only when really needed. I've never heard of xanax increasing anxiety like an ssri might. Alankay

    That's a good amount of ativan. Have you tried 1 mg? Or even 1 1/2 mgs? A longer acting benzo like clonazepam or valium might be better for you. ALankay

    If he's rx'ing both I'm sure it's fine. He should have told you when to take these. That's a low dose of the lisinopril too which is not a beta blocker(won't effect heart rate). Alankay
