| 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. It brought back my appetite and helps me fall asleep and stay sleeping.

Had multiple neck injuries as teen in high school and at that time there were no advanced imaging technologies of today. Years of pain killers only muffled the pain where I could function. Then in ER visit they gave me Valium for 10 days. I dreamed for the first time in years, I was able to get comfortable to get a good night sleep. Now the neurosurgeon is saying its time for surgery . they lessened the muscle relaxer to xanaflex and only sleep 4 hours then wide awake again.

I was prescribed this drug in 1984 and It completely destroyed my health and ruined my life. I became addicted to it and the protracted withdrawal effects lasted years and were absolutely horrific I am a 26 year old female who has suffered from panic attacks and anxiety since high-school. I got to the point to where I was so anxious that I could not eat and was down to 97lbs. I was on klonopin for a while until my body became immune to it. I started losing more weight and even hair. I was then switched to valium and it is certainly a miracle drug. NO side effects what so ever...
