Good Morning Everyone -

Could you please share with me why Ativan and AD is a bad mix - My hubby has suffered from Lyme Disease since 95 and in 2007 was put on Ativan for anxiety and panic attacks. Any help and all opinions is so appreciated.

Ativan is in the Benzo family not good for AD or any dementia....

IMHO and in studies done NO ativan is NOT a good med for Alzheimer's at all
Benzo's can/ do make ppl worse wih this DD
There are other alternative meds out there
'PLZ check into them
and keep us posted

God Bless
