A member asked:

I take ativan (lorazepam) for my anxiety. will a week off of it make my urine test come back negative? how many days until it's gone? it was .5 mg.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drugs of abuse (DOA): If you have been taking it daily for a while it will show up in your urine for up to seven days or so. BUT this may not be a drug your lab checks for..... If you are taking the med for a legitimate purpose and your position allows it you should not fear the drug test.
