Deer Pankaj,
Lorazepam addiction also needs treatment along with your depression. Though you have mentioned the tablets name, you have not mentioned the maximum dose tried and the duration of each tablet taken.

Hello
- lorazepam is meant to be used for short term use only. Usually not recommended to continue over 4 weeks. It needs to be gradually tapered down to prevent withdrawal effects
