Apparently, it was Ativan (generic: lorazepam) that was fatal.
Xanax (generic: alprazolam) is more famous.
Those Benzos are no joke.
All those anti-anxiety drugs are dangerous, and addictive.
Here, where I live, there is someone whom I care about, who acts out, and who is possibly taking benzo medication, to the detriment to both of us.
Neither wins. Both lose.

Randisi,I believe Tom described it well ,those anti anxiety drugs are no joke. Ativan is just Valium light. Highly addictive. The medical community has to recognize the importance of marijuana's compounds that fight ,anxiety,depression and a host of pain related ailments.
With very few side effects!
This "class" of Prescribed drugs are as dangerous as Street drugs and they have legal marketing behind them. Doctors are wooed to use them.
And ,I am saying that if anti anxiety CBD had been prescribed for anxiety issues ,he would have been here today.
Peace
