A member asked:

Took a 1/2 milligram of lorazepam around 11 at night unknowing that i had a drug test around 230pm the next day. will it be in my system?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: Since you took a dose the evening prior to testing, it will show in your drug screen.

Depends on the test: and its sensitivity. Lorazepam has a fairly short half life.
