No, Xanax is the trade name for a drug called Alprazolam. The drug Lorazepam has a trade name of Ativan. Both are benzodiazapens that work in a similar way, however they are different drugs. The dosing is quite a bit different on these two drugs as well. Sorry about the spelling errors, as that has never been my strong point.
