About


Ativan, also known by its generic name lorazepam, is a benzodiazepine medication used to treat anxiety and seizures. It is a fast-acting medication that works by slowing down the central nervous system, which can reduce feelings of anxiety and panic. Ativan is typically taken orally, and the dosage will vary depending on the individual's needs and response to the medication.

Common side effects of Ativan include drowsiness, dizziness, and nausea. More serious side effects, such as respiratory depression and seizures, are rare but can occur. Ativan should be used with caution in individuals with a history of substance abuse or mental illness. It is also important to note that Ativan can be habit-forming, and long-term use may lead to dependence. If you are considering using Ativan, it is important to talk to your doctor about the potential benefits and risks of the medication.
