Does Ativan Cause Confusion And Memory Problems In The Long Run?
I started taking Ativan for Tardive Dyskinesia after long-term exposure to anti-psychotics. I ve heard that long term Ativan can be a problem causing confusion and memory problems. How long can I take it without causing these side effects to become permanent? I get very severe attacks requiring me to go to the emergency room without the Ativan.
