A little but: Not really. Ativan (lorazepam) is an anti-anxiety medication & ocd, an anxiety disorder but Ativan (lorazepam) is not 1st line indication 2 treat ocd. U need to see a reputable psychiatrist 2 treat your ocd with the appropriate medication, ssris r first line. Also, the best u can do 4 u is 2 ask 4 cbt referral. U want 2 learn how 2 handle ur thoughts on ur own. Cbt gives amazing results w/ocd. Good luck 2 u!
