Can one develop tolerance and dependence to Ativan 0.25mg after 1 month of taking it and can one take it 3 times a day?

Good morning, Madam,

Tolerance to Ativan (lorazepam) occurs much more quickly than after 1 month (often within a few days), regardless of the dose taken. This is especially true in patients who take this type of medication in the context of anxiety. Is this your case?

Thank you for this information. It may well be that a tolerance has developed in this case. I invite you to discuss with your pharmacist and your doctor the few options available to you.

Have a nice day,Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
