Do you have a regular doctor? I'm in a simmilar situation and need a dose of Lorazepam about once or twice a year. However, I've never had the problem you describe. The first time I spoke to my primary care physician about this, we had a discussion about my options and I left the consultation with a prescription for a rather large dose of Lorazepam [0]. Since then, I've just called her office whenever I needed another dose, and told the receptionist that I was previously prescribed Lorazepam for X, and I need another dose because I will be doing X again. A couple of times, I also asked the receptionist to ask the doctor to lower the dose. I've never had any problem with this. I don't think my doctor has even asked to talk to me at all before putting in the prescription. (Although we have spoken about unrelated medical issues). I assume that she just looked at my file; confirmed that she previously prescribed it and that I wasn't asking for it too frequently, then rubber stamped a new prescription. On one occasion, I was speaking to a specialist (again, for an unrelated medical concern), and asked her for a prescription, because I happened to know I would be needing one soon. She glanced through my file and wrote the prescription without complaint. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes, but I think what is happening is that I have a regular doctors office through which I coordinate all of my care. This means that whenever I speak with a doctor, they have a file on me that says "patient prescribed Lorazepam for X", so doctors seem willing to repeated what they have documentation about having worked before. [0] Enough that she suggested I use a wheel-chair after taking it.
