yes its ok to split up your total dosage. however, the effect may not be what you are used to. but if...lets say you have the least trouble in the morning, then take half dose in am, half dose in the aft, and full dose in the evening.

still, wouldnt hurt to talk to your doc about making this change.

Take it as directed. Ativan is a prescription drug that
can easily become addictive.
Your doctor gave it to you in these dosages and times
for a reason. Don't stop taking it abruptly. Do as your
Doctor says.
Good luck!

Yes its ok do as long as its no XR version. Just be careful it is highly addictive. But before going to 1mg three time a day I would contact your doctor.
