Lorazepam can be prescribed by your health care provider if you suffer from anxiety and need to relieve this condition. Lorazepam is supposed to be taken two or three times a day with some food or without it. You can ask your health care or pharmacist for explanation if you don’t understand any part of the instructions for taking this drug. Lorazepam must not be taken for longer than 4 months without talking to your health care provider first. You may develop an addiction and the drug will not be as efficient as expected for you. If you think you are not benefitting from the treatment talk to your health care provider about a dose adjustment or an alternative. Stopping your treatment suddenly may cause unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. In order to avoid irritability, insomnia and anxiousness talk to your doctor before you stop taking this medicine as you will be most likely recommended to take less and less of lorazepam each day.
