Is Ativan Intake Advisable To Get Rid Of A Hangover?

Is it ok to take an Ativan to help my hangover? I drink maybe once every 3 months or so and had 5 pints of 5% beer over 6 hours. I had little sleep last night and have a lot of anxiety today. I seem to be very sensitive to alcohol withdrawal now so would it be ok to take Ativan 18 hrs since last drink?

Hello,

Ativan does not help in a hangover. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
