A member asked:
Could an overdose of ativan (lorazepam) be fatal?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Rarely alone: Ativan (lorazepam) by mouth is fairly safe. If given by IV it can stop breathing. However, if Ativan (lorazepam) is added to alcohol, narcotics, or other sedatives, the combination can be fatal. Chronic use can lead to addition and dependence on more powerful and potentially fatal drugs.

DEFINITELY!!!!!!: Ativan (lorazepam) is a sedative/hypnotic agent. It can cause respiratory depression which means you stop breathing. Please seek help immediately if you or someone you know has taken an overdose or is planning on taking an overdose. This is not something to play around with at all!
