raina726, I'm sorry lorazepam didn't work good for you. It calms your nerves....so you should feel more relaxed. But like every med, they can affect people differently. Maybe it works best taken everyday. Not sure. But I know for sure that Diazepam stays in your system longer than lorazepam. I really liked how Diazepam worked so well with my anxiety. It even seemed to help the next day. It seemed to give me a "boost" in my mental attitude too. Seemed to give me a happy feeling... Did lorazepam help you sleep? Did your doctor switch you to something else? I take Amitriptyline with Lorazepam. 1.5mg of lorazepam and 30mg Amitriptyline per day.....taken at night. It took awhile but I've found a combination that works well for me. I was quite depressed the first 9 months of 2024 because my legs were aching very badly to the point that I couldn't walk without pain. And I am a big time walker!! Lorazepam wasn't helping the depression (its not an anti-depressant) so that's when my doctor prescribed the Amitriptyline. Started out taking 10mg and I could tell right away it was helping alot! It is an amazing medication! I researched alot and found this med. It's really been around a long time and from the reviews I read on it....I thought it might be the one for me. My doctor had wanted to add Duloxetine to my meds, but I told her I wanted to try the Amitriptyline and she agreed. I suggest everyone do their own research and read reviews on the website Drugs.com. So maybe give Amitriptyline a try.... it has a high rating and helps multiple things. For me, it helped sleep, depression, anxiety and pain. Good luck!

raina726, about the price of Flurazepam now...... I went on the website Goodrx.com and found I could get it at my local Walgreens for $19.39..... you need to call around your area to all the pharmacies and find out. Or, just go on that website... GoodRx.com and put in your zip code and it will tell you the prices at the local pharmacies. Good luck!
