A member asked:
Could i develope health problems from taking a very low dosage of ativan (lorazepam) just as needed for anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: This is not likely to cause problems, but psychotherapy to help deal with the causes of anxiety is really more to the point than trying to control things "as needed".
