Lorazepam?
 

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section..

Has anyone been on Lorazepam? How did it work for you and did you have any side effects? I was just prescribed it for my anxiety and I've read a little about it but I want to get some feedback first...

I found it quite short acting.
It worked to calm me rather quickly but a few hours later it would wear off quickly.

It is very addictive and I only had it in hospital and they limited the giving of it for the addictive reason.

i was on it over my admission period but i didn't think it worked that well as i was still having regular episodes of panic and madness or maybe more as they would keep increasing the dosage, however the longer i took it for the easier it go and episodes got weaker, so you would have to persevere with it

I was on it when I was IP and it helped a little but not too much. It calmed me down a bit though.

I've had it as prn but prefer clonazepam. I think it can be helpful to slow down your thoughs. I'm not sure how all the dosages work out, but when I've taken 2mg and not eaten i feel really spacey and disoreinated. I think it would be good for anxiety though because ive found it doesnt leave you really sedated or anything. Good luck with it =]

To be honest with me when I was given it in hospital it just really knocked me out, I slept one heck of a lot.

When i was on it, it really helped me but did make me sleep a hell of a lot.
good luck.
