What is stronger ativan or xanax?

In: Medication and Drugs, Xanax, Benzodiazepines, Ativan [Edit categories]

Answer:

Xanax (alprazolam) is more potent than Ativan (lorazepam).

Typically 0.5 mg of Xanax is equal to 1 mg of Ativan. However this does vary from person to person.

Xanax also works faster and lasts a shorter period than Ativan. So it is logical to say that Xanax is more "powerful" because of its potency and rapid action.
