  • Abrupt cessation of benzodiazepine drug Ativan can cause withdrawal symptoms after taking medically prescribed doses of the drug for as little as one week.
  • Drug or alcohol withdrawal symptoms may be even more dramatic when these substances have masked prolonged malnutrition, disease, chronic pain, or sleep deprivation.
