A member asked:

Can two days of lorazapan at 2.5 mg cause withdrawals like headache? i've been very responsible when taking these pills.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not withdrawal: That isn't long enough to cause any kind of withdrawal to that class of drug. Your headache must have another cause. Talk to your doctor if the headaches persist; go to the ER if they are sudden and severe.
