Dear user
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
I went through your details. Lorazepam, sold under the brand name Ativan among others, is a benzodiazepine medication. It is used to treat anxiety disorders, trouble sleeping, active seizures including status epilepticus,etc. It is a common anxiety medicine and there is no need to worry about it. Do consult your psychiatrist for clarification, and if required, change in medicine.
