A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relaxation: Ativan (lorazepam) is a good temporary treatment for anxiety. However, in the long run a person may develop tolerance ; dependence meaning that higher doses are needed to have the same effect, and the person needs the med to manage his or her symptoms. You can try deep breathing, meditation, guided imagery, yoga, and regular am exercise. Listening to relaxing music and calming scents like lavender may help.
