Please tell me if it would be alright to take lorazepam in the middle of the afternoon for anxiety as  my husband has not been sleeping for about a week or so now and cant sleep at night and it seems that he just cant be still he is so anxious that he has to be moving all the time and he is normally a very happy person he is now very disgruntled all the time.  He just had a knee replacement three weeks ago and has been on oxycodion and welbutin which he stopped taking about 2 to 3 days ago.  Thank you in advance for any help you can give me with this.Janet, YYYY@YYYY
Greetings ! Well yes lorazepam at dose of 0.25- 2 mg can be safely taken in the afternoon for anxiety as well as for decompensating insomnia, preferably starting at lower dose first. This I am telling you after taking into account his previous use of oxycodone and Wellbutrin. I hope this helps. Regards.
