Lorazepam (Ativan®) is a drug that is approved to treat anxiety.

Lorazepam comes in tablet, oral liquid, and injectable forms, and there are currently both brand-name and generic versions of the drug available.
 
As with all medications, side effects are possible during treatment with lorazepam. Some of the common side effects of this drug include dizziness, weakness, and unsteadiness.
