Better medicine: Ativan (lorazepam) is not a good choice for insomnia. Medication is not always the answer either. Go to bed the same time every night and get up the same time every day, no matter how much you sleep. Dark room, no lights! if medications are needed, there are things out there better than ativan (lorazepam). Talk things over with your doctor.
