I guess you are right. Most people that try to kill themselves with it drink alcohol too. I stand corrected. I couldn’t imagine taking 50 mg of it.

My brother is a psychiatric nurse in a hospital. He would inject 2 mg of lorazepam into patients then put them into seclusion to sleep it off. The starting dose for lorazepam is like .5 mg

You have it confused with another benzo. 50 mg of lorazepam will kill you in about an hour

Funny they didn’t give you propranolol for stage fright. Not a benzo either

I remember years and years ago the end of the world was coming when pex came out. We were all going to drown and get herpes from pex. Now a plumber wouldn’t use anything else.
