getting off Lorazepamcausing depression, dizziness, anxiety Posted: 02-05-08 14:24pm
My doctor perscribed anti-anxiety -
Lorazepam a month and a half ago about 1
mg a day...i'm trying to get off it but it
is sooo horrid...the problem is is that i
have two small children to take care off
and I'm feeling major foggy thinking,
dizziness, anxiety, heart palps,
diaherra...muscle spasms...
does anyone know how long this will last
for...it's sooo hard to function day to
day....i want my babies to nap all the
time just so i can lay in bed and get
through this...i can't afford a nanny at
this time...but i feel so depressed and
alone in this....i feel like i can survive
through this being a full-time mother...

You really should talk to your doc about
the best way to get off it- you should
probably slowly back yourself off, maybe a
half a pill for a while, or every other
day, and less and less until you're off of
it.
But if you don't like your medication,
it's always a good idea to talk to your
psychiatrist. She can help you get off of
it without experiencing those withdrawal
effects and also suggest other medications
that might work better for you.
