Lormetazepam, memory and information processing: a review.
A review was made of the literature exploring the psychopharmacology of lormetazepam. Results from studies show that there can be a general hangover the morning following nocturnal doses of 2 mg. Findings from more recent work have shown that the 1.5 mg dose can disrupt retrieval of information from short-term memory. Lormetazepam 1 mg has no residual sedative effects. A daytime psychopharmacodynamic study showed lormetazepam 1-2 mg to have no disruptive effects 5 h after drug intake.
