Looking for relief

[4Penny]

I take 20mg escitalopram in the morning for severe depression and recently take one tablet of .5 lorazepam mid afternoon. It seems to be helping....I can feel less anxious and eat a little dinner and get a few things done in the evening..which I haven't been able to do very well the last 6 months or so. Has anyone else tried this meds together???? Any comments would help me.

4Penny, I'm glad to see you are getting a little relief from anxiety. Enough so tomake a difference in your eating and doing a few things after work.

Ativan is a drug used in the ER because it is highly efficient in calming down the

nervous system in those with Anxiety disorders.

Stay with your doctor's orders and get that break you so well deserve.

Are you sleeping good at night? Take care xx

Thanks for replying...thank goodness I am able to sleep. Sometimes that's all I look forward too...its my safe place...

That's good to hear. Sleep is important in regenerating your mind and body.As long as one does not lie in bed all day *which you don't.

I have a good feeling Penny that these meds may be just what you need right

now to break the cycle you have been in. My best xx
