How is everybody? Everything is great lately? I notice there is no post for the last days. If anybody need to share I am all ears.
I personally am struggling with my emetophobia more than before it gets worst instead of better. I wanted to stop taking lorazepam but I think it will be hard especially now that I read about the withdrawal symptoms and one of them (if things go badly) is vomiting and nausea.
Anybody had ever tapered from lorazepam and how was your experience?
The ability to reply to this post has been turned off.
It's not a medication I know anything about, but withdrawal shouldn't always be a problem. Done gradually it can be done without adverse symptoms in many cases. And in any case not everyone gets the symptoms.
I gather that lorazepam is a benzodiazepine, which means it's a tranquillizer. I took diazepam on an ad hoc basis for a while, but found it didn't do much for me anyway. They can be very addictive so I'm not surprised you want to come off it.
I now have a prescription for Promethazine which is actually an antihistamine but has a sedative effect. I only take it occasionally, but it helps. It's a case of a drug actually being used for its side effects rather than its original purpose!
Thank you Sallyskins for your answer! I want to come off Lorazepam because it increases risk of dementia and I took another benzodiazepine for about 5 years. I didn't know at the time there was such a risk, it stresses me out. I still need something to replace Lorazepam because I do have panic attack almost everyday but I don't want to rely on this medicine anymore.
I am interested about Promethazine, it sounds like something that could benefit me. I will talk to my doctor, I moved to another city and I finally found one today.
Have a good evening!
