Lorazepam

I was wondering if PwP who have been on Lorazepam (to manage anxiety) for a period of time of 8 to 10 months have experienced any positive or negative effects from taking this medication.I would be grateful if you could share your experience.

I'm specifically interested in any withdrawal effects you might have experienced when trying to gradually reduce the dose back to zero.

Also, were you adviced by your Neurologist that you need to adjust the dose of the levodopa you were taking at the time as Lorazepam makes levodopa ineffective?

Thank you in advance.
