No many but: the main one is sleepiness. You may feel drunk or unsteady. It can cause respiratory depression especially if used with other drugs. Do not drive on it.

Ativan s/e: Mainly sedation, feeling sleepy. Dizziness or confusion can occur but less common with low doses. Tell prescribing doc if you are sensitive to meds in general or Ativan type meds. Ask for the lowest possible dose to start and increase gradually with doctor supervision. Take care.
