To the person who was prescribed Lorazapam fir anxiety:

[Mia1953]

I have been taking Lorazapam (.5 mg) 2-3 times per day. It has helped me tremendously. It does not make me feel abnormal or drowsy. My doctor told me that it is one of the safest anti-anxiety meds because it only passes through the liver once and it is probably the easiest to be weened off from. God Bless.

Hello, I to am taking Loraz. I love it, it acts so quickly about 1 hour, and I have no side effects from it. There is talk of it being addictive, so I go lightly with my use, I can take 3 a day, usually manage with one, sometimes it takes 2, and when I am real calm I get by with none. But when I am feeling bad, I say why suffer and take a Loraz. It is one of the best benzodiazepines on the market. So I hope this helps put your mind at ease. I send you love, courage and good health. Sprinkle 1

How did you get your GP to prescribe that? All my GP offered was anti-depressants which make me feel so woozy I cannot take them.

I went to a psychiatrist.
