12 to 24 hours

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The minimum amount of drug lorazepam which can produce effects or interact with other drugs can be expected to be present till 12 to 24 hours after last ingestion.

Considering the above fact, you are safe to consume alcohol after 6pm in the evening.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

I got this pain above my left breast and my heart rate is at 100. Is that normal?

Answered by Dr. Dr.Raju.A.T (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
Anxiety

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

The heart rate could be due to anxiety. If pain persists for long or spreads to left arm, you may have to get yourself examined and get an EKG done.

I do not think this is related to Lorazepam dosing.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
