Brief Answer:
Tab Buspirone or Tab Tofisopam are good alternatives.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for asking your health related query here.

Although Ativan is a good anxiolytic medicine its sedative effects limit its use.If you do not want sedation you may use non sedating benzodiazepine like Tofisopam or non benzodiazepine anxiolytic like Buspirone. These medicines can take care of anxiety very well.
You may discuss this with your doctor.
Hope this answers your query.

All the best.
