A member asked:
Will ativan (lorazepam) work as a muscle relaxer & for muscle spasms at low dose like 0.5mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly : You are right in that is a very low dose. It's better to start at a lower dose and see if it is effective. Although Ativan (lorazepam) is not typically used for muscle spasms, it is in the same class of medications as Valium, which is longer-acting and more often prescribed for muscle spasms.
