| 4 | Sleep, OCD symptoms | none. I broke my thighbone and have multiple other leg injuries following a motorcycle accident and need something to relax and go to sleep - it relaxes me and puts me to sleep. No problem! | I wonder what kind of shape the folks having all of the problems on this drug are in, or what they are taking along with it. I believe people in poor health to begin with seem to complain more about dependency and side effects. I am a healthy person who is not overweight or taking other mind-bending drugs other than percocet for pain - very little of that. I was having trouble keeping the injured leg still at rest after being relatively inactive all day in recovery. It's almost OCD, I feel like I just have to move it, I can't get the leg comfortable. The lorazapam makes me forget to keep moving the leg, allowing me to relax and sleep. I have gone several nights without the pill to make sure I am not becoming dependent and have had no problems except the wiggling and inability to settle down. I eventually sleep fine, no withdrawal symptoms. | F | 42 | 45 days 1mg 1X day | 9/29/2010 | 5 | anxiety - ocd | none | "L" quickly reduces the mountains into molehills. A must for the medicine cabinet. Problem is.. with daily use.. tolerance level builds so you must increase the dose. Totally operational -non drowsey and allows for focus. | F | 35 | 9 years | 11/27/2007 |
LORAZEPAM (LORAZEPAM): This medication is used to treat anxiety. Lorazepam belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines which act on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. This drug works by enhancing the effects of a certain natural chemical in the body (GABA). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 1987-03-23
