Buy Ativan 2 mg (Lorazepam)

Overview

Ativan 2 mg (Lorazepam) is a prescription benzodiazepine medication used to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia due to anxiety, and to provide sedation before medical or surgical procedures.

It works as a central nervous system (CNS) depressant, producing calming, muscle-relaxing, and anticonvulsant effects. Ativan is often prescribed for short-term relief of severe anxiety or agitation, and must be taken under medical supervision.

How It Works

Ativan enhances the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter that helps inhibit excessive nerve activity in the brain.

By increasing GABA’s calming effect, Ativan reduces anxiety, promotes relaxation, and decreases abnormal brain activity, making it effective for anxiety, panic, insomnia, and seizure control.
