An elderly relative has been taking .5mg Lorazepam 2x per week. She's in the hospital now and they aren't giving her the Lorazepam. Is withdrawal not a concern because this is a low dose or should she still taper off?

She should be fine if it's just twice a week

Doubt it. I have never had withdrawal symptoms at a low dose.

That's a micro dose should be no issues.

It's a really small dosage, but actually people can have severe withdrawals from that too. Main thing is really how it is taken. If not taken every day there is very unlikely dependence will form. I have actually heard people forming dependence with every second day usage but that is probably quite rare.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
