Frequently Asked Questions
Is lorazepam the same as Ativan?
Yes — lorazepam is the generic name for Ativan. It is bioequivalent and costs $8–$15/month versus $80+ for brand Ativan.
How does lorazepam compare to alprazolam for anxiety?
Lorazepam has a slightly longer duration of action (6–8 hours) compared to alprazolam (4–6 hours). Both are effective for acute anxiety; alprazolam has a faster onset. Your prescriber determines which is appropriate.
Can lorazepam be used for insomnia?
Lorazepam is sometimes prescribed short-term for insomnia, particularly anxiety-driven insomnia. Long-term use is not recommended due to tolerance and dependence risk.
Is lorazepam used in hospitals for seizures?
Yes — IV lorazepam is the first-line acute treatment for status epilepticus in hospital settings. The oral form is used for anxiety and procedural anxiety.
Can Script Unlock help with lorazepam costs?
