It is the classic way in which acute alcohol intoxication may affect a person. * Myasthenia gravis – This condition is characterised by muscle weakness and a muscle relaxant such as lorazepam may exacerbate symptoms. * Ataxia – This is a neurological clinical sign, consisting of unsteady and clumsy motion of the limbs and torso, due to failure of gross muscle movement coordination, most evident on standing and walking. Tolerance to benzodiazepine effects develops with regular use. Important information about AtivanDo not use Ativan if you are allergic to lorazepam or to other benzodiazepines, such as alprazolam (Xanax), chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), or oxazepam (Serax). Lorazepam injectable solution is administered either by deep intramuscular injection or by intravenous injection. Ativan should be used for only a short time. It is fast acting, and useful in treating fast onset panic anxiety. There is inconclusive evidence that lorazepam, if taken early in pregnancy, may result in reduced IQ, neurodevelopmental problems, physical malformations in cardiac or facial structure, or other malformations in some newborns.
