A member asked:

Is it ok to stop taking 0.75 mgs of ativan (lorazepam) everyday or will i have a seizure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Information needed: If the Ativan (lorazepam) was prescribed to control seizure activity, then you should consult a neurologist before you stop taking it. There are multiple other medications for seizure activity which are not sedatives. It would be more beneficial if you can give more information on the reason you were placed on ativan (lorazepam).
