Watch for sedation: okay to use, but watch for sedation. you may need a smaller dose. also be careful with activities requiring alertness- driving, etc.

Thank

Lorazapam: My advice would be to discuss taking this medication for this issue with the provider prescribing the lorazapam for you in the first place. Lorazapam is a controlled substance with the potential for developing a chemical dependency or addiction. It's used must be prescribed and carefully monitored. Alternative treatments are available which may be a better option for you.
