Good question.  I don't know. I am on it right now though and when the bottle is empty i get no more. 0.05 no more than 3 a day doc said.  It has really helped me with the anxiety I have been going through since coming off the suboxone.
Maybe we ought to google lorazapam and see what we find.  TJack

It's just a benzo, and benzos have addictive properties. They affect the same parts of our brains that regulate breathing. In time, the chemical become something we need..just like taking a breath. It's these crazy addictive properties that also make them useful to people. Catch-22
