Research on lorazepam in healthy human subjects is limited. One study in healthy volunteers found that low repeated doses improved psychomotor performance on specific cognitive tasks without causing sedation or memory impairment. However, lorazepam is primarily studied as a pharmaceutical treatment for anxiety disorders rather than as a supplement for healthy individuals. The medication carries significant risks including potential for dependence, adverse cardiovascular effects, and metabolic complications with long-term use.
