User Reviews for lorazepam oral

I take this Drug for Anxiety I get when I wear my CPAC MASK. Hard to get to sleep without. Takes away that clostrophibic feeling with the mask. I also take Temazepam for sleep i do not take the at the same time as they are similar but work well together. No side effects except you need to have 8hours to sleep

My hands Swelled up & dowssy!

I am on Buspirone for severe anxiety and panic disorder and was prescribed Lorazepam as a partner medication. I didn't know why until my pharmacy didn't have the lorazepam in stock for 3 days. I took the Buspirone alone and experienced uncontrollable quivering and major dizziness. I had to call off work for 2 days and lost my job. I love the lorazepam but my new medication specialist wants me off it now and to put me on antidepreesants! What's up with that?

i have had chronic back pain for over 30 years from fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease. i have had 3 spinal surgeries with fusions and 4 fused disks. i was on clonazepam for many years for sleep and it stopped working. my de. switched me to lorazepam and i haven't slept for a week! it is definitely not working for me for sleep.

I had sudden panic attack and my doctor and the Emergency room put me on this medication in addiction to an anti depressant. This medication works amazing and I can finally function again compared to a month ago when I was not even able to shower myself because I was scared to fall over or drive

I took this medication for 5 years because of my job that was very stressful.I had body jerks when trying to fall asleep.I took only once at bedtime and it was a great help.I have now retired and have stop taking it with no withdrawal symtoms.

My Dr. told me to stop taking lorazepam because it causes Dementia. It did help me.

I have been over all satisfied with this treatment. However, my concern is what happens if I quit taking it?

I needed to get off of zolpidem started getting up at night eating and did not even know it. That scare me also was involved in a robbery and had a gun stuck in my face, so I started having panic attacks when I went out side.. had to go to a therapist for counseling was telling her about getting off of the zolpidem, so she gave me lorazepam it has been a miracle drug for me. I take 1 0.5 at night and I sleep so good, have not had any side effects, and every now and then I take one doing the day if I feel a panic attack coming on. I Love It Read More Read Less

I'm taking for insomnia due to anxiety. It helps me calm my mind so that I can sleep. I may take half tablet during the day for anxiety, if need. Slowly recovering from anxiety, taking lorazepam only as needed. I have a lot of nausea not sure if this drug is causing, because I'm taking other meds.

I recently lost my wife. she passed last summer and I have been having a tough time dealing with it. My Doctor realized my depression and prescribed lorazepam and I only take it when the depression increases. I am only on my first refill, and each scip is only 20 pills with each refill( 0.5 mg ). It seems to work but I need to give it more time. The verdict is still out.

I take this medication as a result of pain issues. This medication enhances the benefit of Methadone. It does have a bad withdrawl, perhaps as bad as any narcotic. Anyone who's offered this medication should heavily consider how long they'll be on it and at what dose. I have run out of this medication from my doctor failing to watch my refills and it is truly a lousy experience going through withdrawl.

I started this medicine and I am on my third dose. I can not function. I can only sleep, keeping my eyes open for more than three minutes. It is horrible my body is not adjusting to this medicine.

Just beware: this drug has a pwerful and dangerous withdrawal. Recommendations are to reduce by 10% every 2 weeks to avoid (sometimes not) withdrawal calamities. My husband emerged from 1 day of withdrawal blind and cognitively disoriented. He never recovered.

Lorazepam .5mg twice a day as needed is what I do because Doc prescribed me Sertaline (Zoloft) and that drug was making my anxiety and panic attacks worse. Plus Depression. First time I too Lorazepam, I felt 60% calmer from what other drug did. So next time I took Lorazepam, it was prior to the Sertaline. I felt very calm, more focused to get things done and not so scrabbled brain. Then it was time to take the Sertaline...WOW...this pill doesnt work with me at all (only on it a week, 50mg). Going to tell Doctor on Friday to keep me on the Lorazepam, maybe even higher dose, and take me off Sertaline. I have to say I like the Lorazepam, kinda like the Klonapam I was on that Doctor took me off of when I moved here.Read More Read Less

I enjoy taking this drug because I find it is very calming. I am prescribed an anxiety medication, a depression medication, both of which I take daily and if those dont seem to kick in I take a lorazapam. I only take it as needed once or twice a week usually& it works just fine. I was a little scared of becoming dependant on the drug because of family addiction history but ive been taking it as needed for about 10 months now and im perfectly find and lead a happy normal life on this drug. Side effects tho are a almost high feeling, which i get sometimes but it usually wears off in like an hour, I slur my words sometimes and just act a lttle funky but my anxiety is so bad that the symptoms override my need for lorazapam.Read More Read Less

This drug made me very drowsy. And caused problems with urinating . It never relieved my facial sweating which was a side effect of my anxiety. suzebarb I also experienced hair loss .
