The cognitive effects of lorazepam can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of lorazepam is described by many as one of intense sedation and decreased inhibition. It contains a large number of typical [[depressant]]s cognitive effects.

The cognitive effects of lorazepam can be broken down into several components which progressively intensify proportional to dosage. The general head space of lorazepam is described by many as one of intense sedation and decreased inhibition. In recreational doses it can be very discombobulating. It contains a large number of typical [[depressant]]s cognitive effects. Often compared to [[alprazolam]], lorazepam is noted for having a more sedation and sleepiness but less [[Anxiety reduction|anxiolytic]] effects.

The most prominent of these cognitive effects generally include:

*'''[[Effect::Analysis suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Anxiety suppression]]''' - Not as prominent as with alprazolam, [[clonazepam]] or [[diazepam]].

*'''[[Effect::Appetite enhancement]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Compulsive redosing]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Disinhibition]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Dream potentiation]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Emotionality suppression|Emotion suppression]]''' - Although this compound primarily suppresses anxiety, it also dulls other emotions in a manner which is distinct but less intensive than that of [[antipsychotic]]s.

*'''[[Effect::Emotionality suppression|Emotion suppression]]''' - Although this compound primarily suppresses anxiety, it also dulls other emotions in a manner which is distinct but less intensive than that of [[antipsychotic]]s. This particular component may even be more prominent on lorazepam than other common benzodiazepines.

*'''[[Effect::Memory suppression]]'''

**'''[[Effect::Amnesia]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought deceleration]]'''

*'''[[Effect::Thought deceleration]]''' - This can often be visibly clear to onlookers just during verbal exchanges even on light-medium doses without [[Drug tolerance|tolerance]].
