    I don't know what you know about ativan but it is a very dangerous drug...many overdoses on it. Be careful

    also, isnt ativan the 1 that causes so many suicides?
    if you mess withthe prescribed dosage, it causes severe feelings of hopelessness & suicide, to the point that you feel you must kill yourself because its your only option
    dont fuck withthat shit

    that is what im thinking of right?

    i dont think ativan causes desire to commit suicide. i think ur thinking of anti deppresants like prozac, paxil, lexapro etc. ativan is a benzo or anti anxiety med much like xanax or valium. altho it is quite easy for ppl to overdose on it

    Lorazepam Tablets 1 mg

    LORAZEPAM (Ativan(R)) is a benzodiazepine. Benzodiazepines belong to a group of medicines that slow down the central nervous system. Lorazepam relieves anxiety and induces sleepiness before surgery. Lorazepam also helps to prevent the recall of events related to surgery and is used for some types of serious seizures


    And ativan hasn't really been linked to suicide. Benzos as a whole are advised against in patients who are depressed because well . . . its a depressant. It also isn't really that prevalent in overdoses, a prescribed dose can often be as high as 10mg per day. Perhaps if taken with alcohol this might be a risk, but the risk of overdose is rather low when taken alone. Shit, I've taken 5mg of Ativan with absolutely no effect. It's odd, xanax knocks me for a loop but ativan doesn't do well . . . anything . . .

    I would say take no more than 2mg at a time.
