A doctor has provided 1 answer
Referral: This drug is indicated when prescribed for anxiety. Lorazepam may be habit-forming . Misuse of habit-forming medicine can cause addiction, overdose, or even death. I suggest you take the Lorazepam you have left to the prescribing physician and discuss your condition.
