Impairment: The fact that you have had accidents suggests you are impaired even though you don't notice it. You should not take Ativan (lorazepam) if you are going to drive. Discuss this with your doctor.

Mental impairment: Ativan (lorazepam) is a sedative that causes mental impairment. This lack of appropriate judgement leaves to you "bumping the curb".

If you need that : Much ativan, (lorazepam) you probably should see someone about multi modal therapy for anxiety. In the meantime, if you take ativan, (lorazepam) please be responsible and stop driving.
