Question On Ativan
UpdatedFamily member was in ER for alcohol detox and was peaceful and easy going. Member began to have shakes and was given Ativan in an IV. Member became very irritated and aggressive. Member had to be restrained and Ativan was increased. Upon increase, member became violent and had to be restrained by 4 young security guards. Member was then taken to ICU and given propofol and a respirator was employed. What is in this stuff that set this member off

Hello, Marty! How are you?
It was probably the alcohol detox and not the Ativan, to be honest, though there is a small chance it was the combination of both.
Ativan is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.
Is there anything else I can help with?
