What other drugs will affect lorazepam? • Lorazepam may increase the effects of other drugs that cause drowsiness, including antidepressants, alcohol, antihistamines, sedatives (used to treat insomnia), pain relievers, anxiety medicines, seizure medicines, and muscle relaxants

Ativan (benzodiazepines) Definition Sedative-hypnotics are Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants and are a category of drugs that slow normal brain function

There are numerous CNS depressants; most act on the brain by affecting the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals that facilitate communication between brain cells

GABA works by decreasing brain activity

Although the different classes of CNS depressants work in unique ways, ultimately it is through their ability to increase GABA activity that they produce a drowsy or calming effect that is beneficial to those suffering from anxiety or sleep disorders

Among the medications that are commonly prescribed for these purposes are the following: Benzodiazepines (ativan), such as diazepam (Valium), chlordiazepoxide HCl (Librium), and alprazolam (Xanax), which can be prescribed to treat anxiety, acute stress reactions, and panic attacks; the more sedating benzodiazepines, such as triazolam (Halcion) and estazolam (ProSom) can be prescribed for short-term treatment of sleep disorders

In higher doses, some CNS depressants can be used as general anesthetics
