ativan can be used as a muscle relaxant but i don't believe it's a 1st choice med for your problem. it's also a sedative. i wouldn't take it during the day because it may make you too sleepy.

plus, the more you take the more tolerant you may become. that means that it will take more drug to give you the same effect. and if you come off it you may experience withdrawal sx's.

i'd explore other options with your dr. ask for several choices and describe you type of pain. then you can google them and make a good decision.
