Diana,

No, Ativan (lorazepam) is an anti-anxiety agent. They are sometimes used as a muscle relaxant. They belong to a family of drugs commonly known as benzodiazepine's. This is a potent medication that carries a risk of abuse.

Ativan is a benzodizaepine that is most commonly used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders, though in some cases it can help with insomnia and preventing seizures.

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

Is there anything else I can help with?
