Brief Answer:
yes, it can help

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Yes, ativan (and any of the other medications in this drug family), would help to reduce anxiety temporarily.

Some other members of this drug family are: xanax, valium, clonazepam

These meds, including ativan, would help to reduce anxiety, may also cause drowsiness as well.
The onset of action of ativan can vary from one person to the next but in general it is 30 mins to 90 mins

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
