A member asked:
I was prescribed ativan (lorazepam) for anxiety. the last 3 times i've taken it i've had worse anxiety attacks and have been aggressive. why is this happening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ativan (lorazepam) Side Effect: This sounds like a paradoxical or unexpected reaction to your ativan (lorazepam). I would first advise that you stop taking this drug and get back to your mental health provider. You may need something from a different class of drugs to treat your anxiety rather than this ativan (lorazepam).
