About

Ativan is an anxiolytic medication that works in the brain to help reduce anxiety and panic attacks. It is usually prescribed for short-term use and should not be taken for more than four weeks. The drug works by slowing down the activity of the brain and calming the nerves. It also has sedative effects, which can help reduce restlessness and insomnia.
