One of the meds dad is offered is 1mg lorazapam twice day. if we hold to the dosage schedule, he is in a stupor constantly. not good! options?

Stop The Lorazepam: Your dad is ninety years old. This medication is the worst possible thing for him. The elderly often fall and break their hip and then could die from this complication. They are too groggy to realize how unsteady they are when they try to get up or walk. I would recommend a visit back with the doctor or getting a new expert in geriatric medicine.
