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 used for the management of anxiety disorders, the short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety or anxiety associated with depression. Ativan is effective for insomnia and panic attacks, and is used in combination with other medications to prevent nausea and vomiting resulting from chemotherapy. Ativan also is administered before anesthesia for sedation and used for prevention and treatment of alcohol withdrawal.
