How to Take Lorazepam
Lorazepam can be taken orally on a daily basis. The medication is available as a liquid or tablets. Doctors typically prescribe it for 2 to 4 weeks at a time rather than for long-term treatment. It is important to take lorazepam as instructed by your doctor to ensure safety and prevent complications.
Lorazepam typically comes in tablets of 0.5 mg, 1 mg, and 2 mg. Depending on the condition, a typical dose is 2 mg to 6 mg a day taken in 2 or 3 dosages. To avoid addiction and dependency, you should take the drug at the smallest effective dosage for the shortest period possible.
– For anxiety: a typical dose is 2 to 3 mg a day
– For insomnia related to anxiety: a typical dose is 2 to 4 mg a day
Injection dosages tend to be lower than oral dosages. [5]
