A member asked:
Can ativan (lorazepam) .5 mgs 2-3 times per day remain effective longterm?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.
