Hi there,Hopefully you still have my information from the last time I requested you.I had spoken to you about Lorazepam tapering in the past. I stopped using Lorazepam in may but was prescribed a small amount for a recent trip to Las Vegas for a family wedding. A holiday I was very anxious about.However I had quite a few episodes of both anxiety and panic while there and had to visit a hospital for another prescription. Altogether I used about 22mg over the course of about 16 days. Some days I didn't use any, some days I only needed 0.5mg and there were a few times when I had to use 1mg 3 times in a day.I don't have any left but should I have had to taper again like I did months ago or is it OK not to taper when it was only used for a 2 week period?
