A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ativan (lorazepam): Ativan (lorazepam) is not indicated for treatment of insomnia. It produces tolerance and dependence when used long-term. Long-term treatment with medication alone is not the optimal treatment strategy. Any abrupt or overly rapid reduction in Ativan (lorazepam) dose among chronic users can produce withdrawal. Symptoms and signs can include tremors, anxiety, perceptual disturbances, dysphoria, psychosis, and seizures.
