I was prescribed Lorazepam 6mg for Restless Leg Syndrome for over 10 years, My best friend's husband, who is a Psychiatrist said it is a dangerous drug. I immediately after reading tons of on line info stopped. I almost had a psychotic break five days later. I heard my phone ringing constantly and it was not ringing, I rocked back and forth sitting in bed for 7 hours, could not lay down because I was so nauseous. I tried calling my friend whom I speak to every day and could not remember her phone number. I called my Doctor at 4:30 am and he sent in a script to Walgreens. They did not deliver and I could absolutely not stand up let alone drive. I called my friend at 5:30, not easy thing to do at 5:30 AM, she picked up the medicine for me. Thus my journey for Withdrawing from Benzodiazepines. Of course it was the best decision I could have made but many times during the journey I questioned my decision. I won't go through what I have been through for the past 9 months but I will tell you I am 78 and I got through it. I wish I had know about Mayo Connect, I just signed up and I am on the last legs of my withdrawal. I THANK each and everyone who contributes their experiences and advice. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER.
