Lorazepam is classified as a benzodiazepine, which is not a narcotic. It is however, a controlled substance. The term narcotic originally referred to any psychoactive compound with any sleep-inducing properties. In the US, narcotic now refers to opioids, commonly morphine and heroin and their derivatives, such as hydrocodone.
