Please: Have a friend or relative drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the national suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support. I am assuming that this was a suicide attempt.

Yes.: That's a lot of Ativan (lorazepam) and can be very dangerous. How long ago was this? You should go to the emergency room asap to make sure you get examined. Too much Ativan (lorazepam) can cause respiratory depression.
