Answer:
Lorazepam (brand name Ativan) is a Benzodiazepine. Valium (Diazepam), and Xanax (Alprazolam) are examples of other Benzodiazepines. If Lorazepam is being used to decrease anxiety, it can also be classified as an anxiolytic. Hydrocodone is a narcotic painkiller. They are totally different, except for the fact that they are both addictive.
