Ativan (lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine, not an antihistamine. It rarely rarely rarely if ever, causes psychosis.
High doses of antihistamines can cause "delirium", a state of mental confusion. Having attempted parasuicide in the past with Benadryl (diphenhydramine) myself, I know all about this. Mind you, that was on an entire bottle.
