A member asked:
Are there any major concerns with taking a small dose of ativan (lorazepam) here and there for anxiety. usually take just a few times a month. ?

Yes and no: No problem, this is a reasonable treatment for anxiety IF directed by a trained professional who is following the diagnosis and response. But if this is done without medical,supervision, it can be dangerous.
