I had them switch me to Diazepam because it’s milder, and the faze transitions aren’t as severe.

That said very low dose cannabis, and I mean very low dose, is far more effective, just inconvenient but very low dose.

High doses retard cognition, making emotional processing more difficult and just like diazepam it shuts down the ability to process. My brain tends to fight against it, causing an initial panic attack from the diazepam or the lorazepam. I don’t get the same effect very low dose low THC cannabis. I have a prescription for it.

Bottom line, lorazepam, diazepam, opiates are not designed for human beings they are designed to make money, keep us addicted and make the need for the medication greater greater over overtime, think tobacco and nicotine.

I try to never use any psychiatric medication whatsoever. After 14 years of over 14 medications I am on nothing except very low dose, very low dose cannabis. I haven’t taken lorazepam in a month. I tested diazepam the other day. It made me sick.

If you simply switch medication and do not make other changes, dietary, sleep, movement, social interaction then the medication is pointless. With these other interventions. You probably won’t even need the meds.

I wish you peace in good health all the days of your life.

thank you!
I wish I had known sooner.
I am successfully, so far,down to 35% of my initial dose using the Ashton Method. It is working and I have had very few issues so far. I am still scared and have a way to go.
