A member asked:
If i take .5mg of ativan 3-4 times a month, will i become addicted and go through withdrawal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Addiction risk low: With that current dosing frequency, it is unlikely that you will become addicted to the Ativan. Addiction can be defined in various ways, but it usually requires daily or nearly daily use, and usually people at risk for addiction use the medication even when they don't really need it to treat symptoms. Just continue to use only when really needed and as prescribed by your doctor.
