Anybody taking Buspar after stopping lorazepam?

Hello,
I was using Busbar to slow down my busy brain, always thinking. I didn't feel any differently so I eventually stopped. It was mainly for my sleeping and thinking too much. I can't speak about stopping any other anti-depressant and maybe it was also for anxiety but it may work well for you. All of our issues with depression are different and I wish you much luck with Busbar. Is Lorazepam Atavan? My sister used it for years for sleep. My best.

Yes, to answer your question, lorazepam is a benzo called Adavan and is hard to wean off of although not as hard as Clonazapan (klonopin).
It’s only supposed to be used for 14 days and not for years but I’m not a psychiatrist. If it works then use it.
I was given Buspar and after a trial run I came to the conclusion that it’s a mild anti-anxiety medication that did nothing for me. But like you said, everybody’s different.
Stay off the Benzodiazepines if you’re looking for an anti anxiety medication. They are poisonous and getting off them could take a year of brutal anxiety and a straight jacket and a helmet so you don’t hurt yourself . It should be taken off the market in my opinion. (I’m exaggerating about the straight jacket and helmet)
