I am n medication and did forget to take it this morning tho idk if thats it, last time i took anyrthing was last night, i took 4mg of lorazepam this ussually knocks me out quite well but has never had random effects hitting me hard like this hours later. Is this normal?
What you are experiencing is the hangover effects of lorazepam. Lorazepam appears to have more profound adverse effects on memory. It is normal with its intake. Try consulting your treating doctor about dose reduction or switching over to another medicine if not well tolerated.
