Accepted Answer

Yikes!!: Taking too much of a benzodiazepine, such as lorazepam, cabe be very dangerous and even fatal. It's a CNS depressant and taking too much can lead to respiratory depression resulting in stop breathing while asleep. Symptoms of too much include, slurred speech, blurry vision, unsteady gaot, problems walking, lethargy, sedated.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Your concern : Your concern should be some sedation and sleep and low blood pressure.  Also depend  on your liver and kidney condition and other medications interaction.  It is metabolized from liver & excreted  by kidney. 2mg is small dose and it has intermediate half life of 9-12hours as compared to other benzodiazines. It should start decreasing it's effect on your body in four hours. Wish you good health.

Question 8

can you get tactile hulucinations from one 2 mg dose of lorazapam ?

Accepted Answer

Lorazepam withdrawal: Tactile hallucinations (not "hulucinations") are common in withdrawal from benzodiazepines such as lorazepam.  I've never seen them after a single 2mg dose.  If this dose was given in an attempt to taper from ongoing benzo use, though, it may mean the person was using a much higher dose -- and the 2mg dose did not cover withdrawal symptoms. Tactile hallucinations ; other symptoms could result.

Question 9

would 2 mg of lorazapam be a normal dose for a colonascapy procedure.

Accepted Answer

Was it prescribed: For that purpose? If so, yes, this dose sounds fine.  However, it may be rather sedating - so you would need someone to drive you home after the procedure.

Question 10

i've been taking a few too many lorazapam. how do i break this habit?

Accepted Answer

See your prescriber.: You have to  understand why you started to take this medication in the first place in order to successfully quit taking the medication. You will need supervision in decreasing then stopping the medication with the help of your pcp or psychiatrist. Just abruptly stopping the medication can cause intolerable side effects and can be dangerous especially if you have been on it for a long time.
