I have also been taking Lorazepam at very low dosage for about 30 years as well. I get a bottle of 20 pills that usually last a year. I take it when my tinnitus acts up which is a precursor to kick starting my anxiety disorder. This has worked for me but, as had been said previously, everyone is different. My wife has worse tinnitus and has gotten no solution after speaking to many Mayo Clinic doctors. I have suggested Lorazepam; her PCP gave her a Xandax prescription instead. I post this because there might be someone listening that could get help with Lorazepam without the side effects.
