Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 , Thanks for the info. about Ativan. The dr.s in the hospital were not familiar with the name Ativan. The lorazepam was not for home use. The midazolam is not usually given for home use but since Rohan's dr. knew that r.diazepam is not of much use to him it was given to us a couple of times. It's scary to think that we don't have an emergency med that we can rely on. Saro .. & Hill wrote: > Ativan is lorazepam - we can't get it for home use in NZ either.
