Yes and no: BTW the 'apo' is just a brand name and has nothing to do with the drug effects. Lorazepam (ativan) is a benzodiazepine, and all of these drugs cause physical dependency. Anybody taking these drugs regularly in enough of a dose long enough develops such dependency and drug must be tapered. Addiction is another matter entirely, and involves using drug for wrong reasons & inability to control it.
