Specializes in Psychiatry

Ativan (lorazepam): It really depends on what other medications u are taking at the same time, how the 2 mg. Affected you, how often it is prescribed, & what it is prescribed for, as well as your tolerance. By itself, & if prescribed 1 time or as needed, the dose is not that high.
