Dear ecposy,

Enclosed please find a list of the side effects of Ativan.  Hope this is of assistance to you.

What are the possible side effects of lorazepam (Ativan)?

Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction : hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:

  • confusion, depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
  • hyperactivity, agitation, hostility;
  • hallucinations; or
  • feeling light-headed, fainting .

Less serious side effects may include:

  • drowsiness, dizziness , tiredness;
  • blurred vision;
  • sleep problems (insomnia );
  • muscle weakness, lack of balance or coordination;
  • amnesia or forgetfulness, trouble concentrating;
  • nausea, vomiting, constipation;
  • appetite changes; or
  • skin rash .

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect.
