Like all benzodiazepines, Ativan can cause physical dependence. Suddenly stopping therapy may be associated with agitation, insomnia, seizures, tremors, vomiting, and sweating. The usual dose of Ativan for treating anxiety is 2-3 mg/day given in two or three divided doses.
Ativan (lorazepam) is often prescribed for anxiety disorders, seizures, and other medical conditions. It is also prescribed to people with severe insomnia. Ativan is not intended for long-term use because of its potential for addiction. Any use of Ativan against doctorâs orders, or without a valid prescription, is considered drug abuse.
