Detailed Answer:
Hello,
ativan is not usually supposed to wreck your overall health. It usually only causes central nervous system (CNS) side effects, although other side effects are also possible. One very serious concern is addiction. Patients who use such drugs may get addicted to them and cause harm to their health due to their addiction.
Using benzodiazepines for short-term is acceptable. Long-term use is not recommended.
