It is improbable, however, reception Ativan can lead also to accustoming (propensity/habit formation). Do not exceed a dose, and in case of danger urgently stop treatment. It will reduce probability of accustoming to Ativan (Lorazepam)

Preparation reception can be stopped only after consultation of the doctor. It is necessary for correct reduction of a dose Common Ativan Side Effects: Dizziness, poor coordination, sedation, and weakness, are the most common lorazepam side effects. These effects are usually mild, but you may want to speak to your doctor if they bother you or persist.

I developed anxiety during my husband's disability. Am also about to turn 50! Xanax is way too strong for me and gives me a hangover effect-not good when you are a caregiver! Ativan has been a godsend for me. I have been taking .25mg-.50mg at bedtime for a year. I don't find it to be addictive at all. it sometimes takes a lot to convince a doctor that you are NOT depressed! I had a BAD experience with Prozac years ago. Some doctors immediateley diagnose depression based on what you tell them.It can sometimes be dangerous to allow your family doctor prescribe phychiatric meds! My psychiatrist gives seminars to groups of GP's outlining the hazards of doing just that. I believe Ativan is safe, well tested, and effective based on my experience. I hate it when doctors just write a script for the newest thing on the market, when there are older, tried-and-true drugs that are cheaper.
