| Add Lorazepam review I have taken this medication since my first cancer and it works wonderful, for restlessness and anxiety. I take 2 mg 3x a day Due to other health issues I was a mess. No appetite, trouble sleeping. Always a racing mind and the feeling of anxiousness all the time making me sick. My first dose was like the miracle drug. Within 30 minutes or so I started to feel much better, in fact I really didn't notice I was feeling better until I thought about it.

I do not take this drug every night for fear of dependency but when I require a good night sleep I will take which allows me to have a good nite sleep with NO side effects next say (lethargic, etc.) I was to the point of a breakdown on the side of the road one night.Called my Dr, prescribed this medicine and thank the lord, I haven't had that type of moment since almost immediate relief from anxiety attacks. | |||
