Seditation Drugs

I was given 4 small white pills to sedate me before having a total MRI at the Atlanta VA I was told it wouldn't put me to sleep but it would make me not care. They started with 1 and finally gave me 4. The said it was adivent or adavent. Can you tell me what this is? I had to call out of work today because I can barely function.

I believe the medication that you are referring to is ATIVAN. It can be used as a sedative for combative patients.

Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, it is a Benzodiazepine that is commonly used to treat anxiety, nervous disorders, and for its sedative like effects.

The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming if taken long-term, and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, and irritability.

I've taken it before, and found that I only needed a very low dose to help me, but we are all different.

Do you know what dose each one was?
