Have you used Lorazepam in the past? What was your experience like with it?

[@Sapioso]

I wish I had known more before starting this medication. Benzos are evil.

[@bengyjomin5219]

I'm using it now. And it help me with my sleeping.

[@lactalover2903]

It made me lose my mind and now that i'm off i'm perfect for real

[@blank_420]

I have used a month ago. It really working for anxiety and situational stress.
BUT, that are hard to quit cause I had used that for 5 month.

[@mikerotch1249]

I have taken one Ativan at a time and that’s just when my anxiety is too much and I just stick to Zoloft 150mg and I use cbd and thc(India) for sleeping, I feel Ativan just makes me less anxious but isn’t a fix, it’s mostly my life choices that have been stressing me out so there’s that but I do feel like it works for some people, same for weed, it’s not for everyone

[@daiskids1882]

You need a slow taper off these done over an extended period depending on how long you been taking them. Don't try stopping them dead as you may have severe withdrawal and possibly seizures.

[@chatursondharva742]

Any side effects if over doses

[@lactalover2903]

you really don't wanna know

[@policeofficer65]

@Melody Santos 😱😱😱

[@tinger3575]

Insomnia due to anxiety - seroquel and knock the fuck out

[@queenclaire9998]

0.5mg for anxiety

[@johnbambrough3189]

I just wish I didn’t have spend the little money I currently have on these benzos that actually work!!
Your very lucky to get the drugs from drs you require on a free prescription in the US

[@traumatizedtrailblazer]

The dosage for anxiety is a joke. 10mg a day would cripple, kill, and overdose you... I was on a high dose of 3mg PRN. And was once given like 8mg in the hospital for extreme agitation... but 10mg a day would never happen... where the hell did you learn from???

[@cheff3953]

Fuck I just took 8mg am I gonna overdose

[@calebstoneburner1423]

@@cheff3953 no dude your good it's a benzo you'll have to take at least 800 mg before your body can't handle it

[@cheff3953]

@@cheff3953 Did you just fall asleep?

[@cheff3953]

@TheBloxDev Bro. I saw my whole life flashing, everything all at once. Hearing 100 voices at the same time, colors and patterns everywhere. Craziest moment of my life by far. Fell asleep and woke up with puke all over. Never again

[@user-bv1co5gx7x]

I just took 10 0.5mg of those little tiny fkers along with promethazine and 120mg of Tylenol 4 codeine 60mg i feel so good all my problems i was going through i totally forgot them im not having anxiety attacks due to over thinking, my back and neck doesn't hurt due to the 2 discs bulging on my spine i am able to just relax evemn though im fighting to stay awake i keep nodding in and out.

[@giftnwolisa2521]

How are you?

[@Nadeshiroo]

Don’t take this stuff.

[@add69420]

Why?

[@zorgee100]

Why

[@lifeisacelebration.79]

​@@add69420 it would turn out to be biggest mistake of your life. Don't take lorazepam. Do something else to relieve anxiety.
