I've took 8mg of ativan (lorazepam) in an hiur. is that overdosing? what shold i do? thanks

Yes.: That is overdosing. That is very risky. IF this happened a short time ago, you need an emergency evaluation. Call 911. But you clearly also need to address whatever drove you to this. Consult a professional, and with some haste, since you are obviously very desperate.

Yes. call doctor: The average dose of ativan (lorazepam) in my patients is 1 - 2 mgs per dose. None of my patients takes more than that. You should call your doctor and discuss this, especially why you took the amount you did.
