Ativan is the brand name for Lorazepam,
an anti-anxiety drug.

Memory impairment is highly relevant to students
who use Ativan. The risk of acute amnesia is more pronounced with
short-acting drugs. Ativan (Lorazepam), Halcion (triazolam), Xanax
(alprazolam) and Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) are especially likely
to induce such memory impairment.
