A member asked:
I have been taking .5 mg of lorazepam daily for 2 years. is it possible that by discontinuing this amount i could experience withdrawal symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are only taking one daily, there may be mild symptoms, more with larger daily amounts. There is risk of seizures or serious problems with abrupt discontinuation with high doses of lorazepam. Consult with your doctor for advice.
