How Long Does 0.5mg Of Ativan Stay In Your System (Page 7)

I took 1 0.5mg pill of lorazapam (generic for ativan) on Sunday night at around 10pm and have a drug test Tuesday at 4pm, will I fail? I do not take any other drugs and only took this one pill one time for anxiety.

I want to thank you for posting this. I know its a couple months late....... but the fear you felt..... woke you up. Thank goodness! Honey I know its hard when your kinda used to doing drugs like this..... and something happened to you...... to make you want to say no to this. As a mom...... with a 30 year old.. I know he struggles at times wanting meds..... because he has a really bad shoulder..... rotor cuff torn and it hurts him terribly at times. He had no insurance.... but the pain is so bad and the family Dr will not give him the meds he needs to function daily. The ortho tells him like they tell me with my knee...... your to young to have surgery! Well they do not know the pain we endure daily...... however..... when it comes to passing a drug test..... he freaks out sometimes... Not hard core but ones...... he could have failed at any time. Hes in the process of getting his son back...... the mom will never have him because of her dealings..... Once in a blue moon when hes tested he does panic..... they are RX meds but he does not have the RX in his name and rarely will take one........ but sweats it out none the less. And does NOT want to go back to jail.... because of a pill. He has 2 more years of probation to go....... and wants his son back son back so bad. So again thank you for posting this. Most people will not even come back and say if they passed failed etc...... but you did......and shared your story............ THANK YOU.

Jack you are right on the money. I HATE it when people post questions In such a panic, but then never follow up so others with the exact same concern aren't put at ease.
I had taken a lorazapam .05 mg, (can't remember if it was Sat. at 8 or 10pm, or Sunday night); however, at noon Monday, I passed a 12 panel drug test. So., either way, within 14 hours, or 36 hours, I passed.
Even if it was 36 hours, that's amazing for a drug to clear your system without a trace, so quickly!.

If you are taking Ativan and have a Doctor's prescription for it, you have legal proof to show your drug testing center. You should have no worries or anxiety about taking it.

Now, if you are taking Ativan without a prescription (i.e ILLEGALLY), well then there are consequences for your action.

My bf takes a few Ativan 1mg after every drug test-- we get drug tested once a week. Stops 3 1/2 days before his drug test and he's never failed.

I've always been terrified to take benzo's ever since I took Valium and it stayed in my system for almost 2 months >.< but I do know Ativan IS the fastest to leave your system. I just took a 1mg tab of Ativan & I'll have 6 days to test it. Facing jail time if it's not out... I have a terrible metabolism so I get nervous af. But as far as my bf goes.... 3 1/2 days and he's golden. He weighs about 140 lbs. So if you're going to do a benzo & you get tested on the reg. then I suggest Ativan :)

This makes perfect sense I'm on Lorazepam 0.5 mg ( generic ) Ativan . To use for occasional anxiety attacks . One day before my Dr. appointment I took one , I was tested the next day & none showed up . My Dr. asked if I had stopped taken it . I said "No but I don't take that many . I was scared she would take it away from me , but she said Right that makes sense it doesn't stay in your system very long.
Yes with drawls are Bad - Very fast for not being that strong of a drug. I've been trying to cut down because I hate those with drawls !!

Go to the E.R fake a panic attack so they give you a Xanax. Boom you have a legitimate reason for being dirty. P.S they don't always check for benzos on a U.A for probation. Only about half the time unless you have a history of taking Benzo,s .

Okay, i like your sound advice. & my friend was curious about the answer for this specifically...

So she only took one 1mg tablet before bed.. She may have a work urine test in a few weeks... Do you think she will be in the clear? She also took nacin & cranberry pills to flush out her system... Do most anti-anxiety pills are in the benzo family?

Well I want to say..that I have done ativan everyday n gone the next day for a urine test and came out negative...I done xanax or clonopin n had my urine pulled the next day even a few days later n it came oit positive...so I think it is harder to detect ativan....just make sure u have at least 7 hrs clean...

Not that I recommend this at all, but I can only take ativan on Friday because I can get randomed at any time. Here's the I don't recommend part. I usually take at least 20 1mg one time even took 30 1mg and had a urine on Monday after taking 30 in Friday and passed. I have high tolerances so don't take that much I know I shouldn't either, but for urine tests two days is plenty of time if you are normal health.

Oh and I've had 4 different urine test done all 12 panel and done ativan the Friday before and never failed. Two tests were on Tuesday which gave me an extra day two were on Monday. Passed every time. Also year's ago was taking k pins and failed urine after 5 days so no clue how long that lasts I guess over 5 days.

Your post was a long time ago, but it understandable that people get nervous for others who take I prescribed benzodiazepines because they are highly addictive drugs. If you use them in high amounts that are not set to your body, you can create an u health addiction which can add to the plethora of problems you already have. It's just worrisome because I've seen people get addicted who were on a doctors prescription. Not stuff to mess around with.

So I took 4mg of Ativan on Thursday and 4 more on Friday (only time in the last month). I am supposed to test Monday but I am drinking a s*** ton of water today and testing tomorrow instead. Will it still be out of my system?

Not true Ativan can take six weeks and is one of the longest to metabolize as is valium. Xanax and Klonopin get out of your system the fastest.
