Isn't that partly what this discussion/forum is for??? To discuss our experiences with certain medications?? Everyone is an adult and can make their own decisions. Plus they need to discuss with their doctor before getting any medication. Yada, Yada, Yada.....I know lots of people are against benzos...but the fact is THEY WORK!! And I'm on a very low dose.....I will defend this medication forever....because it's the only one that truly works, and with NO SIDE EFFECTS! Can't say that about lots of other meds! And other meds have serious side effects....not lorazepam. You are just repeating what you've heard and what the doctors say....I'm trying to get the message out there that a low dose of a benzo is not the evil bad medication that it's made out to be!
