No longer have the anxiety, I just needed to sleep! (I was prescribed lorazepam when I received an upsetting medical diagnosis. I was a mess. )
I do feel like my body became dependent on lorazepam and the .5 mg was no longer helping me sleep. Last December, I was not sleeping, had loss of appetite, was barely able to function and was depressed. I cried in my doctor’s office at least once a week. Once I started weaning lorazepam, while taking mirtazapine, I started sleeping and feeling better. By February/March, I finally started feeling like myself.
I have been off lorazepam since early June and haven’t looked back,
I hope you’ll find something that helps you.
