About
Ativan, also known as Lorazepam, is a benzodiazepine medication commonly prescribed for the treatment of anxiety disorders, insomnia, and seizures. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, which results in a calming effect. However, Ativan is a controlled substance and can only be obtained with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare provider.
