Ativan does help my mom. She takes it for anxiety. Yesterday was an especially bad day and she said that Ativan helped with the hug.

Keep in mind that everyone is different and reacts differently to medications. What works for one person may not work for another.

I hope your mom finds some that works for her. Let us know how she is doing.
