Possibly: Ativan (lorazepam) is a short acting benzodiazepine. Barring any liver disease or competing medications for its metabolism, taking Ativan (lorazepam) three times a day should maintain a fairly stable blood level after 4-5 days. It is always best to talk to your doctor about the dose and frequency that is best for you based upon your response to the medication. Hope this helps!
