- You are eligible if you are aged between 18 and 64 and don’t have a history of neurological illness or any other physical health condition likely to influence cognitive ability. To limit dangerous interactions with lorazepam, we are excluding individuals who are currently or have recently taken other drugs which are known to interact with lorazepam. We are excluding participants who are/may be/planning to get pregnant, to limit harm to unborn children. Other indications may be taken into account so that those with higher risk of side-effects of lorazepam are excluded (e.g. history of benzodiazepine allergy).
