Ativan is also known to cause birth defects in unborn babies, so you should not use the drug if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

When you are taking ativan you should avoid the consumption of alcohol. The drug will increase the effects of alcohol, and using it with other drugs that make you sleepy will also increase those effects. Be careful if you are carrying out any tasks that require you to be awake. If you are taking medications such as allergy medications, antidepressants or sleeping pills then you should talk to your doctor about your options.

The sleepy effects experienced when taking ativan may be greater in older patients taking the drug. This means that you may be at greater risk of a fall and must be careful when taking the drug. You can ask your doctor for advice if concerned.

If you have a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, as well as drug or alcohol addiction, you should tell your doctor. You should also tell your doctor about any other conditions such as kidney or liver disease and glaucoma. Ativan has habit-forming potential so you should never share your medicine. Keep it in a safe place.

You may see ativan available for purchase on the internet, but it is not safe to take the drug this way. Drugs bought online have been shown to contain harmful drugs which have dangerous side effects. Make sure you get the drug prescribed by a doctor from a safe source.
