    Ativan stomach muscles, habit forming, irritable bowel, calms, panic attack
    I have panic attacks and irritable bowel. Ativan has been a life saver for me. It not only relaxes my stomach muscles so I can eat, it calms me also. One must be careful when taking ativan. It has been documented to be habit forming.
