How long does lorazepam stay in your system?
Lorazepam doesn’t clear the body as quickly as some other types of drugs.
In fact, lorazepam can be detected in urine for up to 6 weeks in a heavy user. Even small doses if you are getting high on lorazepam might be detectable up to a week later. So how long can you expect for lorazepam to leave the body completely? More on the peak levels and half life of lorazepam here, plus a section for your questions about lorazepam use or detection at the end.
Main Lorazepam uses
Lorazepam treats anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. It’s also used for other conditions, including epilepsy, irritable bowel syndrome, and alcohol withdrawal. Lorazepam decreases abnormal excitement in the brain, to control anxiety and relax the body. However, lorazepam should only be prescribed for 2-4 weeks because of it is one of the most addictive sleeping tablets on the market.
How do you take Lorazepam?
Lorazepam is available in two forms. There is an oral tablet, and a liquid solution, which are both ingested. Sometimes, the pill is crushed and snorted, but this is dangerous and discouraged by medical professionals.
Peak levels and half life of Lorazepam
Lorazepam reaches peak concentrations in the blood in two hours. This lorazepam peak level varies on the amount taken, of course, but for a 2 mg tablet, it would be about 20 ng/mL. The age of the person taking Lorazepam doesn’t seem to effect the rate of absorption. So, the average half-life of lorazepam in most people is about 12 hours.
Lorazepam drug testing: How long does Lorazepam stay in the body?
Lorazepam stays in the body for a long time, especially when taken in large doses. Lorazepam usually takes several weeks to clear from the body completely. Sometimes it can take over a month. Lorazepam can be detected in blood, hair, and urine samples during drug testing.
How long does Lorazepam stay in blood?
Lorazepam stays in the blood for several days because of the drug’s long half life. Exactly how long it stays in the blood depends on the dose taken – therapeutic dosage ranges from 1-10 mg per day, and someone abusing the medication might take even more.
How long does Lorazepam stay in hair?
Lorazepam can be detected in hair up to 90 days after the drug was first taken. The length of the person’s hair at the time of testing, as well as hair color or color treatments can affect the accuracy of the results.
How long does Lorazepam stay in urine?
Traces of Lorazepam can be found in urine for at least a week, and sometimes up to a month and a half. This depends on the dose of lorazepam taken, and if it’s been taken frequently in the past. Lorazepam addicts and abusers will have a harder time clearing this drug from their system, even after stopping.
Lorazepam and addiction
Lorazepam is a habit-forming drug, and it is addictive. Users will develop a tolerance after just a short time, meaning it will take higher amounts of lorazepam to achieve the same results or effects as when you first starting taking lorazepam. Trying to quit lorazepam once you’re addicted or have a physical dependence can be very difficult because of the cravings and withdrawal effects it can cause. For this reason, lorazepam is never prescribed for long-term use.
Problems with Lorazepam?
Lorazepam does have unpleasant, potentially dangerous withdrawal effects. There is good news, though: it’s possible to get off the medication by tapering the dosage. If you want to stop taking lorazepam, talk to your doctor about a gradually decreasing your dose to make the transition as easy as possible. Doctors always recommend that you go through withdrawal with medical supervision. This can minimize the risk of adverse effects, and certain medications might be helpful to treat and ease withdrawal symptoms.

It’s been about 3 days since I’ve stopped taking lorazepam & i feel awful! I can’t sleep & I feel disoriented, dizzy, & like I’m high. When will I feel normal again? I hate this!!

Hi Annie. How long were you taking lorazepam? And how did you stop taking it – gradually tapering or cold turkey? And have you consulted your prescribing doctor?

April 29th, 2012
I am going to move to Korea in August to teach. I need to be OFF my Lorazepam for a drug test. How long will it take to be gone. I take 1 mg a day..I take half a tab in the AM and the other half in the PM. TY, Kat
Also do you know if Celexa will show up on the test?
12:49 am
April 30th, 2012
Hi Kat. Thanks for your question. Are you taking lorazepam with a prescription? If so, just present the Rx to the Medical Officer in charge of drug testing. If you are using as prescribed, your test will show NEGATIVE. Same for other prescription drugs like Celexa. What kind of test is required during the pre-employment drug screen? Urine? Blood? Hair? And how many panels? 5-7-9-10?
3:35 pm
May 28th, 2012
Yes, it is prescribed, as is Celexa. I do not know what type of drug test, but pretty sure it’s urine test.Don’t know about panels?
Ty, Kat
3:57 pm
May 29th, 2012
Hi Kat. Panels are just multiple tests using the same specimen for different classes of drugs. For example: opiates, amphetamines, cocaine, marijuana, etc. Regardless, just take your prescription with you to the test and you should be OK.
3:21 am
June 8th, 2012
What is the best way to taper off? Cut a dose of half the doses until I can stop altogether? I take one milligram a day, divided by two, 1/2 morning, 1/2 at night.
Thank you.
Leaving for Korea in one month.. needs to be gone. TY.

June 11th, 2012
Hi again, Kat. Yes. Weaning off any dependence forming prescription medication helps ease symptoms of withdrawal. The best thing to do is to consult your prescribing doctor and ask about a tapering schedule to get off lorazepam. And to ask for medical advice on how to treat symptoms of withdrawal at home. Good luck!

Hi – i took one .5 mb lorazepam 2.5 days ago and now I need to take a drug test – probably immunoassay with GC/MS to confirm. I figure it should be out of my system, but maybe I should stall and take the test tomorrow. Stupid me! I didn’t even think about it as an illicit drug!
9:04 pm
June 15th, 2012
Hi John. Do you have a prescription for the lorazepam? If so, just bring the Rx to the drug screen and you should be OK. Medical Review Officers read the results and compare them with industry cut off levels for therapeutic use. If not, it seems that your instincts are guiding you: a longer period for metabolism can increase chances that lorazepam go undetected.

Hi, i have been using Lorazapan mg for the last years, i only take it before i go to sleep. how long will it take to get it out of my system. This is prescribed by my neurologist. How long will the effects last and how do i go about it ridding me of it. Thx
5:29 pm
June 27th, 2012
Hi Ed. Check in with your neurologist FIRST before you start decreasing or slowly stopping lorazepam. This drug has known withdrawal effects and you should stop taking it ONLY under medical supervision. Just so that you know…in general, you wean yourself from lorazepam by slowly by tapering the dose until you stop taking it altogether. This process can take days to weeks. Cold turkey withdrawal from lorazepam is not recommended. But once it is out of your system, you will no longer be physically dependent on the drug.
Does this help?

Hi iv been taking .5mg for a couple months now was taking more befor that but weened myself down to .5 once a day….just got perscribed Bupropion 75Mg twice a day, it says not to take if your just getting off any Benz (lorazepam) or have just recently stopped taking, its been 3 days now & have not taken anything but im scared im gonna have another panick attack, is the lorazepam out of my system enough to start this new perscription? Or should i try waiting a few more days?
1:04 pm
September 4th, 2012
Hi Lisa. Thanks for your question. I would personally err on the side of caution, and wait as long as possible before starting bupropion after lorazepam. Benzodiazepines like lorazepam are notorious for remaining in the system due to their long half lives.
However, I think that this question will be best answered by the prescribing doctor or a pharmacist. I would definitely ask for medical advice before dosing with an antidepressant on top of a CNS depressant. They both work by increasing or decreasing certain types of activity in the brain and the overlap can cause serious adverse side effects.

My boyfriend was prescribed Lorazepam and has quit taking it for two whole day now and can’t sleep. I was wondering is it safe to take an Ambien at night to help him sleep? Since he hasnt taken the Lorazepam, he should be fine right? The physcatrist said if he takes maybe half of an Ambien he should be alright…I just want to make sure, thanks
1:04 pm
September 16th, 2012
Hi Monique. As long as the Ambien is prescribed and taken as prescribed, your boyfriend should be OK. Ambien works as an anti-benzodiazepine hypnotic and should clear the system and not interfere with the action of lorazepam if taken a day apart.

Hi my name is Debbie I took lorazepam last night at 10:30 pm, it’s now 2:45 pm the next day and I feel awful, I feel nauseated , weak and lathargic, is this a common side effect? If so how long will I feel this way.
10:40 am
October 22nd, 2012
Hi Debbie. Along with its needed effects, lorazepam may cause some unwanted effects. If side effects such as weakness and nausea occur they may need medical attention. Call your doctor if these symptoms persist or do not go away:

Hi there, glad I found this site. I wanted to ask, I have been taking Lorazepam for over a year now. I am taking it for anxiety, I dont take it everyday just when I feel overwelmed. im suppose to take 1mg 3 times a day but I dont. I usually take 2mg a day. The last time I took one was last night at 10pm. So today I get offered a job at my husbands work… temp job for 3 months. But guess what, I have to take a drug test.
My husband is a big wig at this company, I dont want to embarrass him in any way. Especially if this comes up in my drug test.
Any thoughts? I think I have to go in at the end of the week to test.Thanks for being here for people to go to you…

Hi Kell. Rest easy. As long as you are taking lorazepam as prescribed, you have nothing to worry about. With a prescription for lorazepam, simply present the Rx or a copy of your medical notes to the Medical Review Officer at the drug testing laboratory and any use that is within your prescribed amount will be considered NEGATIVE for abuse.

Hi I have been taking lorazepam since Sept 14th 2012. I’m an artist and I had an art show back in the beginning of Sept. and was rushing to get a picture done for it. Basically stayed up 3 nights straight and drank 6 Red Bull energy drinks and coffee within that time frame(and I never drink Red Bull). A few days after the art show I started feeling down and anxiety set in. I really thing it was because of the abuse to my body. So my doctor prescribed lorazepam. So now I am still on it (.5mg a day but a couple of weeks ago I was taking 1mg a day) I have severe nausea every morning and through the day(really hard to eat anything but I make myself anyway). I have lost almost 25 lbs since taking the lorazepam. I also wake up every morning with anxiety. I try to hold off as much as I can in taking the .5 lorazepam.
I really feel that the nausea has to do with trying to quit the lorazepam. And maybe even the anxiety that I still feel is attributed to the drug too. I don’t take any other drugs and am not prone to anxiety(although I did have postpartum depression after each of my 3 children, but it passed with no drug use). This morning I took .4mg of lorazepam at 8:45am. And right now at 5:11pm I am having anxiety. I really don’t want to take anymore today (and usually I feel good in the evenings). So I was wondering how do I get off this drug and how long will it take? Should I continue to take .5 a day and if so, for how long? When can I switch to .25? Am I feeling anxiety now because I only took .4 mg this morning?
Thanks, Erin

My mother wants my father to take Ativan (90-years-old; many health problems including dementia) for anxiety. It has been given by hospice. I do not believe that it helps him. There are times that he gets belligerent and unreasonable and I think that is why she wants him on it, but it does not necessarily reduce these behaviors. To my knowledge she is giving him one tablet at 6 PM. She is not caring for him because of a surgery she had that she is still recovering from. The issue of medication has created a rift between us; truly if anyone needs something for anxiety, it is her! I am concerned about its addictive effects and see little benefit to its use at this point. What are the long term ramifications for using Ativan in his case. I noted that most places indicate that it is generally for short term use; 2-4 weeks. She plans to give it daily, indefinitely. Will his body crave more as time goes on? I see no reason to give this and it angers me to the point I told her that I will have no problem giving her meds to try to knock her out if she is in his situation since she thinks it is so good for him. I think she just wants to have some control. Am I wrong to feel this way?
9:02 pm
December 8th, 2012
Hi Kath. Yours seems a very complex issue. Addiction is unlikely to occur in your father’s case, as psychological cravings may not be present. It is possible that he become physically dependent on the drug at some time, but if he is in hospice receiving palliative care, Ativan may just well be a medication prescribed for valid reason. Speak with his prescribing doctor to voice and air out your concerns.

I have been on lorazapam for over 9 years, taken on a daily basis, I am supposed to take three times a day, but only take 1 mg at night for sleep, and half a pill in the day when I feel a panic attack coming on, I have been classified as my panic attacks being cause by a chemical imbalance, my new doctor is not concerned with treating panic attacks and told me to just stop the med just like that, untill I get a reevaluation, I have been told by others it is not safe to just stop this med. Another doctor told me to stay on the med, becasue I have chemical imbalance. What is the best thing to do.

MANY Benzos DO take a week give or take before a urine test will come out ‘clean’.
But with Ativan?
It is OUT of your body ANY out of your Urine in 7 to 12 hours
– soeven if you took 10-12mg of Ativan the afternoon before.. The NExt Afternoon you will NOT piss dirty!
After between 7-12 hours (I’d go with the 12 hours to be sure) You WILL be Clean.
Bezo’s will act differently on the body – incluyding the length they stay IN the Body and in your Urine.
and Ativan is the Fastest out-of-your-body Benzo there is!
if you MUST use one and are testing – This is tghe one – But take More than the dose says… 4mg and up depending on YOUR body cn give you severe amnesia for DAYS afterwards.. cause you to ‘freeze-frame’ while crossing the street (not a very low-profile drug when taken in excess.)
But it WILL be OUT of your Urine in 12 hours – make it 24 hours and you are 100% good to go UNLESS of Course you have Liver problems, and say Hep C – then all bets are off since your body isn’t working as healthy body’s are. But w/o any serious medical issue 24 hours and Ativan is 100% Gone!

Hey went to the hospital during an anxiety attack and the gave me 1mg of lorazepam. Then I took another the next day without feeling of panic attack. I felt fine for about 5 days then had another anxiety attack. So I took 1 to get rid of the anxiety and one the next day. Since then I have been in a depressed mood its been about 5 days or so now. Could the lorazepam still be in my system and causing these feelings? If so when it leaves my system will I start feeling better or should I see a doctor?
2:37 pm
January 29th, 2013
Hi Josh,
It’s possible that you’re experiencing underlying depression, which can be related to anxiety. I’d suggest that you seek help from a psychologist or psychiatrist in traditional talk therapy to identify what is going on beneath the surface. You are not alone!

I haven’t been able to pass drug test’s, oral, or urine for Lorazapam, there is no evidence of it in my system, I normally take it 3x a day, and it does not show up, and my doctor has taken me off of it. I can’t understand why this is happening. I took the last urine test,on dec 15, two wks later, drug test came back negative. I also was told that there was alcohol in my system, haven’t had a drink of any kind for nearly 3 yrs!. What is happening, no one believes me, in the doctor’s office, including the doc, that I am taking my med’s. He just took me off cold turkey!. Please give me some answers. It’s like someone in that office got the drug samples mixed up, or something. Help!, this is following me from doctor, to doctor!.

Hello Marcia. In a recent study, point of care assays yielded false negative results for patients prescribed benzodiazepines nearly 20% of the time. Further testing of specimens using more accurate methods such as LC-MS/MS is necessary to provide definitive data that can assist in clinical decision making.
In other words, go back and ask which testing methods they lab used. Then, ask for a re-test using a LC-MS/MS drug screen. Here’s the study that you can reference:

Hello. I occasionally take Ativan 1mg to help with sleep. By occasionally I mean one pill per week or less. I just found out that I have to take a drug test for my new job and I’m wondering just how long I need to wait before I can be safe. I do have a prescription for it, but I’m nervous that because it’s a job with a school district that there may be some sort of zero tolerance policy. Any help is appreciated!
Thank you!!

Hello BK. Call the drug testing lab to be sure, but most testing centers will present a NEGATIVE for abuse drug screen to employers if you are within expected norms of a prescription. Just present the prescription to the Medical Review Officer (MRO) on staff and you should be OK.

I have been taking lorazepam .5mg for two months for alcohol withdrawal and panic attacks and anxiety. At first I only took one dose every few days but my panic attacks continues and became more frequent. Now I am up to 2 doses a day for the past month and now for three weeks I have been feeling dizzy all the time. My question is: If you take lorazepam for two months or more, can it start to make you feel dizzy and hung over even if there were no side effects at first? I am hoping that I am not over medicated.
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I have a very serious question here and looking for advise from someone in the medical field who has dealt with lorazepam a lot. I do 24 hour care for a 92 year old lady who has MS and is bed ridden. She has been having issues with memory which bothers her and it started when her other med was upped to a whole pill. The Dr. had us stop that high dose of the carbamazepine for her MS pain and she seems a lot better but… she is having us take her off the lorazepam cold turkey in a week and I’m very concerned. I’ve taken this med before in my life. Her dose now is very low and far as I know she’s been on it for a year. She used to take 1/2 of a .5mg twice a day. Now she’s down to 1/4 of a .5mg at night. I know the dose is low and my coworker doesn’t think it will effect her to go cold turkey but I feel differently and don’t want to over step my place there by saying anything to the dr. or family or even her because she is easily influenced by even an opinion to the point she will think she feels things that aren’t there. The dose is low but it seems to help her sleep which has been a problem for her many nights as it is. Is she at risk of seizure or withdrawal? I love this woman with all my heart and I’m very worried about this. I think the Dr. is taking her off it thinking it’s the cause of her memory issue but beings I’m with her so much I don’t agree. Looking for input or advice from a medical professional please or someone who has had a similar situation. Meds seem to effect her more than a younger person hence her dosages of what she takes. Thank you for reading this.

SO nowI stopped taking it as I figured it was not in my system and so I would not have to worry. 4 dys later Im in the ER with tremors, palpitations, high heat rate, overheating in bed, inabilit to sleep, ad a BP of 158/100 he immediatedty told me o begin takin the ativan I had and i took one which releived the symptoms ovr a short period of time. However I am now dealing with a VA that tinks I am not taking them as prescribled and will soon run out again.
Is that negative test really reliable? Im at a loss to defend myself and will face another withdrawal in a week. (aside: I still have 20 1mg tabs even though my Rx was only through March 9th becasue, as I said I dont usually take them except before bed

I have been off lorazepam for almost 3 months now. I was taking .5 mg twice a day for 3 months, then .5 mg once a day for about a month. After stopping I had hypoglycemic symptoms, when I would walk I felt like the ground wasn’t stable. I now feel exhausted, some days my muscles are weak and vibrate. I also feel shakey and in a fog a lot. I’ve been eating every couple of hours trying to help with the shakiness. I also have a weird taste in my mouth, and my hair has been falling out. I know it’s a lot of random stuff. I’m so confused, I don’t know whether this is from stopping lorazepam or if it’s something else. Please help!

I am a female with an anxious personality. I have taken valium off and on for difficult situations all of my life, but only for short periods of time, and for dentist or other stressful situations here and there. I am 71 now and have taken .5 Ativan practically every night for sleep for the last two and a half years. I took 1 mg. for two and a half years before that. Total 5 years now. Can one become addicted to that small of a dose? How do I taper off and how long does it take? I have been having vertigo episodes with nausea and throwing up about once a month for three months now, and don’t know if it is connected to Ativan use or not? Want to get off of it completely to see.

Hi Sam. Physical dependence is different than drug addiction. While you may be chemically reliant on Ativan, you can taper down and get off with the advice of your prescribing doctor or pharmacist. Good luck and all the best!

help. My doctor put me on lorazapam 12 years ago. Subsequently, the next doctor just continued prescribing it to me. I never abused it and it was only 1mg. Originally it was given to me because I hurt my back. They continued to give me all kinds of medications, adding and adding until I couldn’t think, breath and my bowels almost shut down. That was 2008. Slowly they took me down on pain meds, but never stopped Lorazapam. I had no idea what it was doing to me. I thought my doctors knew best. Never did anyone mention that it wasn’t long term and that it was ruining my brain. As pain meds decreased, I started thinking again and checked out Lorazapam on the net. Oh, my gosh. This stuff is horrible. I started decreasing it to half and spent three weeks of intense heart racing. A month ago, I stopped the .5 mg. My doctor gave me Zolpidem to help sleep. It works well, but now I am told that it’s making the withdrawal of Lorazapam last longer. I am so worn out. It’s a month and I feel worse than ever. I so want off this stuff. I have no doctor who seems to care about what I am going through. I do I get BACK TO NORMAL WITHOUT CRACKING UP? or HAVING A STROKE?
5:07 am
April 11th, 2013
Hi Jean. It’s possible that you need to consult with a doctor who can provide a second opinion or a third opinion on your case. Keep in mind that zolpidem is meant for short term use, as well….not more than 6 weeks. Zolpidem can also be habit forming. Keep asking questions and seek a referral from friends or family. You’ll get there!

Hello. I was taking Ativan at a total of 3mg per day for about 10 days. I developed urge incontinence and after seeing my doctor, stopped taking the drug cold turkey. I have no problems from that but now, 1 day after stopping, I still have a stronger than usual urinary urge; maybe not quite as bad as yesterday but it’s still present. Does the fact that it stays in your system mean it will still affect me in this way for a while, or should the problem have stopped right after my no longer taking it? My doctor confirmed no UTI or prostate issues. I am a 57 y/old male.

Hi, I have never tried Lorazepam before and I am supposed to go to a party tonight but I have a lot of anxiety about it. I was prescribed 1mg, but I was thinking about only taking .5 to .25 before the party where I will be drinking. Will I be ok if I do this?
Thanks
