It depends on what..: ...you mean by "OK." If you're taking it for anxiety, the problem may recur. You may have withdrawal symptoms, including jitteriness, difficulty sleeping & loss of appetite. RARELY, it can trigger a seizure. If you don't have $ to pay out of pocket, set up an appt. @ your local public health or community health clinic. Also, log on to healthcare.gov & get insured!

Benzodiazepines: You should be ok given such a small dose. It is possible to have withdrawal affects such when abruptly discontinuing this and other benzodiazepine medications but this usually occurs with much larger amounts.
