lorazepam
Lorazepam is a medication belonging to the benzodiazepine class, commonly prescribed to treat anxiety disorders, insomnia, and seizures. It works by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called GABA, which helps calm the brain and nervous system.
Typically taken as a tablet or injection, lorazepam can provide quick relief from anxiety symptoms. However, it may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, or confusion. Due to its potential for dependence, it is usually recommended for short-term use under a doctor's supervision.
