Will Lorazepam Show Up In A Drug Test?

Lorazepam can be visible in some drug tests so it is vital that the clinic are informed that you are taking the drug and the reasons for taking it, as the drug is used for recreational purposes as well as those it was manufactured for.

Lorazepam is a drug that can be used for many symptoms. It has a number of effects and can be used for, amongst other things, sedation, hypnosis, muscle relaxation and amnesia.

It is commonly used to assist with anxiety and insomnia, although the time it is prescribed is normally very short as it is highly addictive. It is also common for the drug to be used as a sleep-inducer in criminal situations.

The drug has many long-term side effects including over tolerance, withdrawal syndromes and impairment in cognition. Other effects include worsening of seizures in some patients and depression. Children are more sensitive to the effects of the drug and it is common to use it in the treatment if hip fractures in elderly people. The drug is best taken by mouth as it releases slowly into the nervous system and causes peak effects.

People with any of the following conditions should avoid Lorazepam completely:

- Allergies or hypersensitivity
- Sleep apnea
- Pregnancy
- Severe asthma
- Narrow-angle glaucoma

The drug is only available on prescription and should be classed as dangerous to anyone who uses it without a prescription. As stated above, it is vital if giving a drug test to inform the clinic that you are taking it.

  migrate along the shaft, thus, if a long segment of hair is available
  one can draw some "relative" conclusions about when the use occurred.
  These test are more expensive and not as often used.
