User Reviews for lorazepam oral

I was prescribed for anxiety, years ago. I discovered it was great for sleep, with no hang over, like most sleeping pills give. After of 40 years of drinking daily, I recently quit with little problems. First by no alcohol in house for 3 months, and then switching to soda in the bar. I am sober for 3 weeks. I quit for heart problems, and don't intend on going back. I just realized lorazapam reduces effects of alcohol withdraw. Thank you for helping me sleep, and quitting drinking. 2 mg. at bed time.Read More Read Less

It works for me and I do not sleep-walk like I did on Adivan.

This medicine did not make me sleepy. Didn't keep me asleep. Did not feel rested if I slept.

lost the ability to control my urine most of the time problem disappeared once I was off this drug for four days I'd rather not sleep than wear Depends all of the time.

After being diagnosed with Pulmonary Embolism I started having panic attacks and anxiety. As soon as I feel an attack come on I take 1 Lorazepam and I am back to normal within 15 minutes. I carry it with me everywhere. It is a life saver for me!

I have been prescribed this medication to take one every 4 hours during the day. As a recent widow, my anxiety is mostly experienced at bedtime. I am taking 2 mg Estazolam for sleep and I also take 1 mg of Lorazepam. I find it to be very effective "IF" I take it about 30 minutes before time on an empty stomach.

As I am weaning off of Lexapro, I find my anxiety has risen. I have 3 sleep disorders, so sleep is a challenge in the best times. Now, I find I am regularly up until 5 or 6 am tossing and turning without the medication. 10 mg Taken 2-3 hours before bed usually allows me to stay asleep when I finally fall asleep. I also wake up slowly, but that could just be my reaction.

I was first given Vyvanse to my ADHD - but after a few years I was having more anxiety. I also had a lot going on in my life. I was prescribed Lorazepam ..5 mg to be used twice or day or as I felt I needed it. It worked a little but now I'm up to 2mg twice a day. I like to take one to go to bed at night as sometimes i can't turn off my brain and fall asleep. I like to take the other during the day while working which helps control my anxiety in dealing with people and projects. I may have the doctor walk back the dose to 1mg as I think I'd function better. my side effects are constipation, doesn't like alcohol, drowsiness. feeling of fullness. Read More Read Less

I take this in conjunction with lexapro. I only use lorazepam as needed for panic attacks. It takes a full 2 hours to work, but it has never failed to reduce the symptoms of anxiety. Do not take with sleeping pills, alcohol, or NSAIDs. Read all drug interactions before taking any medication. Do not depend on your doctor to tell you everything.

I take 1 mg before bed nightly, since recovering from cancer 5 years ago. It has combated my nightly insomnia. I have never had to increase my dosage.

Using it for insomnia. What is insomnia? Forgot what it felt like because guess what I have been sleeping! Thank you Heavenly Father! Oh and remember crack is wack!

I feel like I can partially let go of my anxiety. I can definitely feel that anxiety hanging on. Not a fan of this medicine for my anxiety/seep problems.

Allows me to eat, and suppresses constant retching

I can relax within 15 minutes after taking meds.

Ativan calms my nerves..it stops my panic attacks and helps me control my irrational thoughts..I been feeling awesome.

Starting taking this drug 2 years ago in conjunction with antidepressant, Ambien and multiple pain meds to treat severe fibromyalgia pain, anxiety & sleeplessness. I take this before bed to calm down enough to let the Ambien work. I am off the pain meds but may never be off the rest. I tried to go off lorazepem once and suffered panic attacks. I have developed a tolerance for this and may have to ask for a higher dosage (now at 1 mg an hr before bed & another 1 mg with the Ambien). I would prefer to be pill free but this drug has been a life-saver. At one point, I thought I would be disabled and I am still working. Don't take this for more than a few weeks if you don't have to but if you have to, it can make a big difference in how you function or whether or not you function. You may have to accept that it is a permanent part of your life if on long-term.Read More Read Less

It's helped me with my anxiety and with some of my depression. along with other issues and problems I'm having. Used properly, this drug works great.

I have Interstiatial cystitis sand this has been a god send to help me sleep. I highly recommend it. Prior to taking, I was getting maybe 3-4 hrs a night of rest, now, sometimes sleep 5 hours straight through, up to the bathroom once, and back to sleep. More patients with I/c should have knowledge of this medication.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and one of the Key Factors to staying in a remitent state is to maintain my stress level.. I've been on this medication for about 4 years now and to me, it's a Godsend !! I've taken Klonopin and Xanex, both of which made me feel goofy, Ativan doesn't do that to me, it simply mellows me out and that's exactly what I'm looking for !! Very good med in my opinion !!

I have a very stressful job. I have been on this medication for 5 years. It works for me but for only 5 hours. Not sure of the side effects.
