Welcome to HealthcareMagic
you are taking very low dose of lorazepam for anxiety, that is why you arent able to het relief
please follow up with your doctor he might want to increase the dose because starting dose is less and then its gradually increased to make peak effect
Discuss in the follow up regarding the issue because you need lorazepam 4mg once a day as per guidelines
