Drug Facts

The study found that, compared to the nonusers, heavy ecstasy users had significant impairments in visual and verbal memory.
Lortab combines a narcotic analgesic (painkiller) and cough reliever with a non-narcotic analgesic for the relief of moderate to moderately severe pain.
Morphine is a narcotic analgesic. Morphine was first isolated from opium in 1805 by a German pharmacist, Wilhelm Sert�rner.

for Lorazepam, an anti-anxiety agent. Ativan is a benzodiazepine and mild tranquilizer,
sedative, and central nervous system (CNS) depressant. Ativan is manufactured
in pill form as well as liquid form for injection. There are many side effects
that come with the use and abuse of Ativan, they included but are not limited
to: clumsiness, dizziness, sleepiness, unsteadiness, weakness, amnesia, insomnia,
agitation, disorientation, depression, headache, visual problems, nausea, abdominal
discomfort, drowsiness, blurred vision, tachycardia, weakness, disinhibition
(where they act inappropriately grandiose or out-of-control), anterograde amnesia
(decreased or lack of recall of events during period of drug action) has been
reported after administration of Ativan and appears to be dose-related, injectable
Ativan results in an increased incidence of sedation, hallucination, and irrational
behavior, some patients on Ativan have developed leukopenia, both elevation
and lowering of blood sugar levels have been reported.
Ativan side effects include
but are not limited to:
- memory functioning is
markedly and measurably impaired

knowledge into long-term memory

is highly relevant to students. The risk of acute amnesia is more pronounced

and Rohypnol (flunitrazepam) are especially likely to induce such memory impairment.
