Specifically, Ativan is approved to treat anxiety disorders, rather than just the common anxiety most people get before a stressful event. It is also approved for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms associated with depression. Ativan is not for "everyday anxiety" and is recommended only for short-term use (two to four weeks or less).
There are also several "off-label" uses of Ativan, including the following:
Treating spastic disorders and other types of muscle spasms, such as those seen in people with cerebral palsy or multiple sclerosis.
