UNDERSTANDING LORAZEPAM'S EFFECTS

Lorazepam is a type of medication known as a benzodiazepine. It operates by enhancing the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter in the brain that stimulates relaxation and reduces nerve activity. This results in feelings of calmness and drowsiness. It is often prescribed to manage anxiety disorders, insomnia, and seizures.
