You'd be best to ask a doctor or even just walk up the pharmacist counter they will be able to tell you even more about it.
Here is a website that has some details on the drug:

Basically Ativan is just a brand name for a drug that's official name is Lorazepam.
BIG THINGS TO KNOW:
It is a sedative, which isn't the only option for anti-anxiety medications and not something I would personally recommend, it will make you rather sleepy and clumsy which can make life difficult. However, that means it will come into effect quicker then other anti-anxiety medications.
According the sites I checked it is not proven to be effective for teens or children.
The habit-forming potential is high! That means this can be an addictive medication.
Check the website above or run a google search of your own to see all the possible side effects.
If you feel you need an anti-anxiety medication speak to your doctor before you do anything else! They will recommend what they think is best for you! TRUST DOCTORS NOT COMMERCIALS!

my sister took Antivan or also known as Lorazepam,which is a drug used to treat anxiety, insomnia, and epilepsy. It is also used to calm surgery patients before anesthesia.The most frequent side effects of this drug are drowsiness, dizziness, weakness, and unsteadiness. Less frequent side effects are disorientation, depression, nausea, change in appetite, headache, sleep disturbance, agitation, skin problems, vision problems, and memory impairment.
i hope that helps if not sorry...GOOD LUCK
