Ativan (lorazepam): In most cases, tolerance can develop & effectiveness fades away, unless taken on an as needed basis & as long as no dosage changes are made.

Ativan (lorazepam): This is an addictive medication that should be taken very carefully and probably not for the long term. Try using the anti anxiety app for daily support and consult a clinical psychologist who can help you manage anxiety by developing better coping mechanisms that will provide long term relief rather then relying on medications solely. My best.
