What are the clinical parameters for lorazepam (Ativan) toxicity, and what threshold constitutes a potentially life-threatening overdose?

Asked by Male, 19 · 9 days ago

For lorazepam (Ativan), there isn't a single specific dosage threshold that is universally life-threatening, as this depends heavily on individual factors like tolerance. Signs of toxicity or a severe reaction include extreme drowsiness, confusion, slurred speech, and slow breathing. Severe, life-threatening complications are quite rare when lorazepam is taken exactly as prescribed on its own, but the risk increases significantly if it is mixed with alcohol or other sedatives. If you or someone else is experiencing severe symptoms, please seek immediate medical care.
