Was taking 3mg/day of Lorazepam for 20 years and content with it. It helped me relax enough to function fairly well with my business and life. Then my primary care physician abruptly left her practice to join a physician's concierge, leaving me without a source to renew my prescription.
I tried two other doctors, both of whom refused to prescribe it. One gave me a one month prescription and a schedule to wean myself off in that time period. Yeah right! She also suggested that I see a behavioral specialist if I preferred to continue the medication.

So I made an appointment with a behaviorist and she also refused to prescribe a single pill even though I told her I was nearly out. So I just laugh when I read all these comments about how I should work closely with my physician to wean myself off the drug. Apparently they couldn't care less!

Anyway, does anyone know if Buspar can be used to transition off Lorazepam? Certainly no doctor I have spoken to has suggested it. But again, they don't seem to care much anyway!
