A member asked:

My boyfriend take 16mg of ativan (lorazepam). i wonder how long the ativan (lorazepam) will affect him ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

High dose: This is a very high dose. Is it under the supervision of a doctor or is he abusing medication. If the latter, he is likely an addict and I suggest you discuss his situation with an addictionologist or go to Al Anon meetings.
