Can Lorazapam Or Xanax Be Taken Instead Of Ativan?

would like to find something to help me relax, my anxiety is through the rough. ive been on Cymbalta, venlafaxine,buprobion, Zoloft, they seem to work for the anxious feeling for part of the day but at work I can hardly concentrate , I find myself loosing my thoughts for being preoccupied with silly thing, I also take tramadol for knee & back pain. I was wondering if the zanax or lorazapam, Ativan would be more effective?
