Ativan is a drug of the same class as Valium and Xanax which are sedative. Long-term use for sure has negative effects (among those, withdrawal effects are most common). I am not sure what effect it has on dogs, if it is safe at all. In fact, it is Valium that's commonly used for dogs in vet offices.
Anyway, as Francesca has said, it is best to ask a vet! If you are not sure of what he tells you, it can be worth asking another vet.
