Steve's challenge:
He often forgets a dose, particularly when the restaurant has a rush of customers who need attention, the pace is accelerated, and there's no time for a break.
In recent office visits:
Steve reported that he is easily irritated by customers' demands. He starts to feel agitated and has difficulty concentrating. Steve's doctor prescribed lorazepam IR to be taken in the morning, at lunch, and at bedtime.
The lorazepam stabilized his anxiety symptoms, but due to his job's continuously busy pace, Steve often misses his midday dose. He's worried that this will impact his job performance, so he asked his doctor if there is a once-a-day lorazepam that fits his schedule.
