A member asked:
Can misuse of lorazepam cause long lasting anxiety effects 2 yrs later?twice took 30day dose in 20 and had bad withdrawl high anxiety and mind racing.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Misusing Lorazepam: If it's been 2 years since you took any lorazepam, "high anxiety" at this point is more likely to be your basic anxiety problem showing up again. Please see a psychiatrist for evaluation. Are you possibly still using Lorazepam that isn't prescribed for you? You may still need that addiction medicine evaluation that we recommended the last time you asked your question. Be well.
