A member asked:
I was on ativan (lorazepam) 6 mg for 15 days how long will the half life last i heard only a day or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More Information?: Please re-ask this question with some context on why you are asking. There is nothing about the half life of benzodiazepine medications on their own. If you are asking about testing then the average urine screening for benzos can easily pick these up for six weeks after the last use, regardless of the 'half life' of the medication.
