I took 4mg of Lorazepam a few weeks back, and have a complete memory blank for 16 hours after that, including school...has anyone had similar expiriences, jsut trying to figure out what's up with this.

From what I know about ATIVAN (Lorazepam) is that it is for anxiety sometimes. It was once prescribed to me and the Doc told me ot was the kind that hits ya quick and fades away. I am pretty sure it also has a very short half-life. so its out of you quicker than most pills.

So I would have to say that your symptoms to not agree with anything I know. it should not last 16 HOURS!!!!! If you did black out from it, it would not be very long. Its, to me, one of the weeker Benzo's. So I am not sure what you popped the other day?

Were you prescribed 4 mgs at a time.If you're not prescribed them then they can definately cause a benzodiazepine blackout which can be extremely dangerous.If you are prescribed the 4 mgs then youy need to see your doctor asap as you are overdosing and need a new prescription or change of orders from the doctor.Good luck....Dave
