Ativan, also known as lorazepam, can be addictive with regular use for as little as two weeks. However, the time it takes for someone to become addicted to Ativan can vary depending on several factors, such as the dosage and frequency of use, as well as individual factors such as genetics, age, and other health conditions. It’s important to always use Ativan as directed by a healthcare provider and to talk to them about any concerns regarding addiction or dependence.
