Dear RcKitty

Thank you for your question. It sounds like things have been pretty difficult for you due to anxiety and depression.

As anxiety and depression can be experienced by people with epilepsy, we have the wellbeing section on our website.

Epilepsy is generally treated with epilepsy medicine. We are not aware of ativan being prescribed to treat epilepsy.

Was on Lorazepam sometime ago, more for calming of the nerves. It did help me sleep at night.
