Can I take Ativan 2mg to help with my recent sleep problems, or is there another treatment you would recommend?

Asked by Female, 45 · 10 days ago

While Ativan (lorazepam) can help you sleep, a 2mg dose is quite strong and generally not recommended as a first-line treatment for sleep because of the risk of dependency and daytime drowsiness. Instead, I recommend discussing sleep hygiene practices or short-term, gentler options like melatonin with your healthcare provider. Sleep therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy are also highly effective. Please consult your doctor to find the safest, most helpful path forward for you.
