Hi, how long can the effects of Lorazepam overdose, withdrawal take? Is it normal for someone to have symptoms for seven days after taking the last dose?

Hello Mike,

As you're still having side effects from the lorazapam overdose, I would
suggest making a doctor's appointment for a follow up visit. I wish you
well.   Eve

Hi there Mike , From what iv'e just read and the dosage you took you should be fine , it's also good that you are drinking lots of fluids ,

Please take care ,

I went to the hospital but they just sent me home and didn't do anything. I took 1 mg. on Thursday, 1 mg. on Friday, 4 mg. on Saturday (partially empty stomach) and 2 mg. on Sunday morning. Had all the side effects beginning Sunday evening. I've been taking Activated Charcoal and have been drinking a lot of fluids but am wondering how long will/could this take?
