Controlled: Medications. You are on two what are called controlled medications, or medications that are at high risk of abuse. You have entered into a contract for their use. A contract is a two way device. You have agreed to do certain things and your doctor has agreed to do certain things. Nothing your doctor has agreed to has changed. Does he even know you are stopping Ativan (lorazepam)? Best talk to him?
