I take them every 2 hours. Don't sleep, not tired. Can have full conversations etc. My happy flying pills. Besides the calmer in flight...Yeah I am familiar with those. Those things give me amnesia and make me useless for the rest of the day. Once only never again!
Normally I'd get such severe heart palpitations that my heart would ache for days afterwards. With Ativan there is no actual heart pain.
Mr V takes an adcodol and is ready to sleep 30min later. And he's a lot taller than me.
