How is lorazepam so effective at stopping my anxiety symptoms within 30 min?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good system response: 1. Your body responds well to the medication. 1a. Blood levels drop tiny bit due to 3x/day dosing so that 1 pill enough for effect 2. The doctor knew exactly the right stuff for you 3. You feel confident that the pill will work. 4. Your medication may be working with another drug you may be taking so that the interactions are working to calm your symptoms quickly 5. Combination of all the above.
