A member asked:

I have been having very bad seizers today . i have taken 5 ativan (lorazepam) now and nothing is controlling them . my doctor office is closed . what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get help at hospital: I'm suprised you're not on an antiepileptic like Phenytoin or valproic acid. Ativan (lorazepam) can stop seizures but people can get used to it's effects fast and then go through withdrawal which causes seizuers. So the safest move now is to call and ambulance and or get to a local hospital. Seizures are unchecked electrical acitivity and can damage your brain along with cause bodily injury.
