A member asked:
What would be the effects of taking 2 mgs of lorazapam 1st dose for stress and no sleep some signs of anxiety, was given this dose by mistake.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lorazepam: Effects of 2 mg Lorazepam depend on the person receiving it -- how anxious he is, how accustomed he is to this dose, other medications he's on, whether he's also drinking alcohol or using other drugs, whether he has chronic mental health problems, etc. If you're habituated to lorazepam, 2 mg will not phase you. It new to it, it could induce relaxation and drowsiness.
