Lorazepam question, how is this possible?

[j22]

For give me for being ignorant about this, but I have done research.
I was recently perscribed just 36, 1 mg Lorazepam pills, the most I've EVER taken at once is 3 (and that was only one time), other than I space them out, like 1 or 2 every other day. Really not a lot at all.
I still have like 15 left, and every day after I don't take one and days I don't take one at all I get really severe headaches. I hadn't got them this frequently til I started taking Lorazepam.
Now this may seem like a stupid question, but all I've read on Benzo tolerance/withdrawel has never told me that I should have any withdrawel from that little of a dose, and so spaced out as I have been taking them.
Could it be withdrawel even though I've only take that few mg's? I don't think it's coincidence, I'm just hoping it's nothing too major.
Thanks for any help in advance.

It's not withdrawal, seriously, it's probably a tension headache because you are experiencing rebound anxiety without the benzo...that's my best guess but no way that amount over that period of time would cause withdrawal
I don't know what else to tell you, unless you are extremely sensitve to this med, that amount shouldn't case any problems whatsover.
Do you feel anxious more or less constantly? That could be what's causing the headaches, just mental stress...benzos are really not suited for generalized or constant anxiety.
Might be time to switch meds if this the case.

Benzo withdrawal is similar to alchohol withdrawal. Dt's, extremely high blood pressure, and possible siezures. Trust me, you would know if you were experiencing it.

Not withdrawal.. tonedeff touched upon the cause - it's kinda a re-bound thing.. for instance, take Valium every day (or every other day) for a week or two - then stop - you wont be able to sleep without it.. I forget the exact medical term for this...
