Ativan is a controlled substance due to the fact it is quick to enter bloodstream and a person gets results fast. Be careful if you get off this drug and ween off or it can be a living nightmare for up to a month depending on the dose. Also if a person has been on a high dose,say 4-6mgs a day for anxiety for a long time(years) and goes to a jail where it's not allowed it needs to be illegal at least not to wean that person off if the person proves to have been prescribed it. It should be allowed anyway but definitely be tapered off. It's inhumane! I have gone through it more than once in jail. Enough people need to get together about that and put an end to it just like any controlled substances. And I have seen others go through it to. The last time a man was unable to hold his lunch tray or meals due to uncontrolled shaking leading to seizures. He was withdrawling from methadone.
