lorazepam for 2.5 weeks anxiety/panic

I've been on lorazepam for 2 weeks because of changing to lexapro from mirtazapine in a anxiety clinic. I had been going ok in the clinic but had been on 1mg lorazepam for 1 week and then 0.5mg lorazepam each morning in week 2. Since returning home anxiety/panic has shot up again and I last had lorazepam yesterday morning as they didn't allow a prescription to go home so wondering if I am having some withdrawal from that 2.5 weeks already or some rebound anxiety from suddenly not getting the 0.5mg of lorazepam. Obviously the lexapro is still building up also and may not be doing a great deal for the anxiety/panic just yet and also the sudden move to home maybe impacting anxiety.

Also Psych has kept me on 7.5mg of mirtazapine at night to try and help sleep whilst 10mg lexapro is in the morning.
