I was prescribed 8 milligrams a day of Lorazapam. Then a new doctor told me I was a drug addict. Can you imagine? Anyway, I quit taking it cold turkey but I do not recommend it! I take an antidepressant and Gabapentin now. You can quit it, just wean yourself off slowly. I missed having it for a while, but the feeling fades. Good luck to you on your mental health journey.

Thank you! That’s what I’m doing. I have a lot of drugs to get off of, going to be a long road. I’ll get there.

Thanks again.

Hi! Did you not get a boatload of withdrawals going cold turkey??
