HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The maximum daily dose of lorazepam can be up to 4 mg a day. This means that this is the amount that can be prescribed by some doctors for patients if needed.
This means that the use of 3 mg of lorazepam over a 3 day period should not cause any significant symptoms.
It can possibly be associated with drowsiness and dizziness but these would be the main possible effects that may occur.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
