Hi there! I am horribly phobic of needles. My doctor gave me the go-ahead and prescribed Ativan for me so I can get my (desperately wanted) Covid Shot. She gave me 8 pills (unsure of mg, is it standardized?) and I took 2 to test them to see how I feel on them. I felt no different. The dosage she suggested was 1-3 and now I'm worried if I book an appointment for a needle and it doesn't work ill have a panic attack when I get there. I can't really afford to have it not work again because I only have 6 pills left, 3 for each shot.

Will 3 be enough? What am I supposed to feel? When I think about needles my heart starts to pound, so I assumed it would stop doing that on Ativan but it didn't.

Please help.
