How does ativan work?

I do not know the chemical or scientific way that ativan works. I take it when I am having severe anxiety or panic attacks. It slows down my thinking process enough for me to handle what is happening. About 20 minutes after I take it I am so calm that I usually go to sleep, though. (Think happy, drooling stages) I also take klonapin, another anxiety medicine on an as-needed basis. It isn’t nearly as strong as Ativan, so I take that at work instead. I can’t tell you how many times Ativan has saved my life, literally. Sorry I don’t have a technical for you.
