Is it safe to take ativan (lorazepam) if your heart rate when laying down trying to sleep is 50s-60s? i'm dizzy and anxious. tinnitus is making me crazy too.

Relatively safe: Standard doses of Ativan (lorazepam) should be well tolerated, and the sedative/ tranquilizer effect should not cause cardiovascular complications.
