How long does it take lorazepam to work?

Answer 1

I would refer you to the website benzo.org.uk for the work of Professor Heather Ashton and her manual "The Ashton Manual"; this publication can be read or downloaded for free from that website. She is a world-authority on the subject. I have read that some of the withdrawal symptoms can last up to 1-2 years, and in rare situations never completely resolve. There are many other websites with information on this subject. Unfortunately, the drug manufacturers and prescribing doctors have a pathetic lack of information on the harm this drug can cause and how to withdraw safely, and are woefully ignorant of the hell one can go through when withdrawing from this medication, even from very small doses. It is a very hard process to go through, but one that can be done safely with the right information. You will be much healthier in the long-run for going through this--however, it is not easy. Most important, do not quick cold turkey, but taper very slowly. It is imperative to get accurate information from those who have been through this process. Again, Professor Ashton's work is a good place to start. Sbird

I stopped taking valium and vicodin at the same time,cold turkey.don't ever do this. it brought about the most insane time a person could live through.in answer to your question,take the xpert's advice and taper like you should with the valium,if you make the mistake of going cold turkey it will be about two weeks before you even start to feel human again

Answer 3

The half life of Lorazepam drug is about 12 hours. So after 12 hours half the drug will be there in your body. After 24 hours, you will have 1/4 quantity in your body. After next 12 hours you will have 1/8 dose in your body. So this will continue. Best way is to be honest with the authority. (Honesty is the best policy in any given situation.)
