How Long Does 1 Mg Of Ativan Stay In Your System For A Urine Test

Updated

My name is Barb. If I take half of a 0.5mg of Ativan this morning & have a drug test (UA) in two days, and I continue to hydrate myself, do u think I will pass the UA? I'm on a private drug program. My anxiety is severe. I have to breakdown to take a small amount. But I risk getting in trouble if I'm tested dirty for Ativan / Benzos. What's your opinion??? Thank you.

You should always give yourself AT LEAST 3 days from the END of the duration of effect. Ativan is about 4 hours. Six to be safe. Your only saving grace is that you only took half a milligram BUT you are seriously pushing it. Luckily Ativan is short acting like xanax and a small milligram per dose drug in comparison to librium and valium. Even at .5mg you still need five full days after the full duration (4-6 hrs) for a single dose to clear. Benzos vary wildly from drug to drug and person to person in this regard. Valium taken regularly can lasts months before it clears. Librium even longer. As a seasoned veteran who has lost friends and family to drugs, I cannot emphasize more that you look a drug up and do the research BEFORE you take it. If you are not willing to be responsible enough to do so, you have no business taking drugs of any kind. In an age where doctors are prescribing every thing but pain medicine for pain and anxiety meds for anxiety, you must do your due diligence. If you take a multiple of the advised for what your doctor prescribed you for pain (which include Alzheimer's drugs such as Namynda and Robaxin (a skeletal muscle relaxant) for headaches and/or back pain/chronic pain, all manner of anti-psychotics, anti-epileptics such as tegretol, depakote or depakene that can and does cause irreversible trembling in close to 50% of patients, that then has to be treated with an anticholinergic for their remaining lives, with even funner side effects as impotency. Anti-depressants which all too often result in suicide or severe depression in people with no history of depression also cause men to lose their ability to climax and women to experienced uncontrollable or drastically reduced libido. There are many many more drugs I can list but don't have the time to write a book on the incompetency of doctors who engage in the guinea-pigging of their patients. I just know they are breaking the hippocratic oath. The only way to stop these insane practices is to fire these doctors, complain to their superiors at each level you can, sue if possible for every mistake, give them horrible ratings on MedMD etc. and all the websites where the public can get this information. Go as far as you can. I paid the ultimate price for a doctors incompetence. My brother had stenosis in his back and headaches. The doctor tried him on a cocktail of the type of drugs I have listed above. One of these drugs was listed on my chart as a drug he was gravely allergic to. As a result, two six month old twins are now fatherless, his wife widowed, our mothers heart crushed, and I am without a brother. We did sue and were awarded 14.5 mil $s but that money cannot bring back the lifetime of memories his children will grow up without. As for the doctor, he died after being robbed and killed at an ATM six weeks ago. His son was also shot and paralyzed. Karma is a b*****. We have set up a trust for the paralyzed son. It is not our intention that the son should have to pay for the sins of the father. After my brothers case the doctor lost his license because during the investigation it was discovered that the doctor was writing large prescriptions of oxycodone 30s (360 tablets and 360 Opana 10m IR every two weeks) that were filled by overseas pharmacies to many people involved in organized crime. I speculate his death was related.

I have been prescribed 1mg of ativan/lorazepam six years ago, my dose is 1mg 3X a day. I take it as prescribed no more & no less everyday for six years! I've been in a clinical methadone program for 2 years for prescribed opioids from a surgery i had, the program is aware of all meds i take, they test by urine once a month but when tested they told me i wasn't showing up with ativan/lorazepam in my urine test at all! They asked if i was taking it n i said yes 3x everyday as the bottle says!? I don't understand this at all and i asked why wouldn't it show up? They said probably due to it being a low dose "BUT" also because it doesn't show, it makes me look like i give them away or that i sell them and that alone can get people into trouble cause if they think that your doing that they can snatch your script from you & believe me i need that med 3x a day everyday!!! Just strange to me when reading all the posts on here, very conflicting stories and don't know what to think, believe or trust!

I also have terrible anxiety and I know that it’s complicated because I go to a suboxone clinic and I can take a 0.5 mg clonazepam the day before my test and pee clean , but I took some .5 Ativans for a week stopped waited about 2.5 days and was showing a faint line pos. So I’m saying that if you don’t normally take it and you have at least 3 days you should be ok IF YOU ONLY took a FEW and drinking water will help yes. I just want to tell the truth because I’ve seen so much inaccuracies on here it’s crazy. So: if you do not take it all the time and you happen to take a low dose and you have a few days yea you should be ok. I hope this helped you!
