Most people call it lorazepam, now. It's a benzodiazepam, similar to valium, but stronger by the milligram then valium. For instance, it is commonly used in 0.5 mg. tabs, where valium starts higher, at maybe 2 mg. I take it for sleep or panic attacks very occasionally and I don't find it tempting to abuse, just makes me sleepy, not at all high. But there is abuse and addiction potential according to the literature. I guess some people have more trouble with benzos. I wouldn't use it frequently, that would be tempting fate.
