Way medicine works: Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and sits on the same receptors in the brain as alcohol. Just like people can have black outs with alcohol so also with lorazepam. Those memories were not stored properly and are unlikely to return. If these symptoms are not much better in a day see your doctor. It can cause hypotension but if you we're lying down asleep that is less of a concern.
