is lorazepam a opiates
Responses (4) No, Ativan (lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine but it is also considered a schedule IV controlled substance. No, ativan is not an opiate, but it is a Benzo and it is addictive. Ativan is not a opiate it is a benzodiazapine... also in that family of meds is xanax, klonopin and alot of others... it is very habit forming so if u do go on it please be careful, and never take more then prescribed...
