Ativan (lorazepam) is perhaps the most globally useful benzodiazepine. It is good for sleep, anxiety, seizures, and muscle relaxation. I find it very clean. For me, it does not produce extraneous psychiatric side effects. I experience very little hangover.
"Lorazepam (initially marketed under the brand names Ativan and Temesta) is a high-potency short-to-intermediate-acting 3-hydroxy benzodiazepine drug that has all five intrinsic benzodiazepine effects: anxiolytic, amnesic, sedative/hypnotic, anticonvulsant and muscle relaxant.[4][5] Lorazepam is used for the short-term treatment of anxiety, insomnia, acute seizures including status epilepticus and sedation of hospitalised patients, as well as sedation of aggressive patients.[5]["

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
