| 1 | anxiety | I have a question can lerazapam make you gain weight | F | 29 | 2 days | 8/20/2012 | 5 | Insomnia | None | Beautiful peaceful sleep. Started taking it when my mother got ill and continued after she passed away, three years ago. I have been decreasing dosage for awhile now and have been completely off for a couple of days. Loved it. | F | 61 | 4 years 2 mg. 1X day | 8/14/2012 | 3 | Depression | Neck pain , leg pain and doing things in my sleep, dreaming | F | 45 | 2 months .5 | 8/8/2012 | 5 | m.s. | not one. for me lorazepam my drug its great for me.all others make me HYPER | better than valiium help me with multiple sclerosis depression when you go in hospital they give you val.benadryl can not sleep on either they think i brought some other drug with me. they go through my bag.cant take librium MAKES ME HYPER too.HOSP.THINKS EVERY ONE CAN TAKE THESE DRUGS. | F | 69 | 20 years 2.o 4X AN | 6/7/2012 | 4 | anxiety/panick attacks | tingling in finger tips for a minute not sure if i had to do with medicine or not its just something i noticed | i was prescribed this after going to er multiple times due to panick attacks and anxiety i took it once while i was there which was a 1mg dose and it did help alot but im somewhat of a hypochondriac so even trying to take any pill pretty much freaks me out so i didnt take it again for a few months til i had a bad panick attack from being hungover i just said eff it and just took it which caused me to have more anxiety just knowing i took something but then over the next 30 mins my breathing and thoughts started going back to normal and i was completly fine | F | 20 | 1 days .5 1X day | 4/4/2012 | 5 | Anxiety | Sleepiness | F | 81 | 3 years 3 mg daily | 3/15/2012 | 1 | severe insomnia | I can not believe all the posts that said "none" for side effects. I had to double check to see if we were discussing the same medication. I have horrible side effects- slurred speech, stumbling, terrible brain fog and poor cognitive abilities to the point of effecting memory, learning, etc. Yes, it helped the insomnia and was the first drug to do so. Bottom line though, my side effects are so severe and disabling that I'm trying to titrate off and go back on amitriptyline which I used for insomnia for years in the past. Doesn't any one else have these troubling side effects. It has completely changed my life to a big black hole- I can't think or function. I'm currently down to 0.75 mg at night and am pressing forward with my reduction until I'm off of this drug for good! | Once I'm off, I will not ever use this drug again. But was effective for insomnia when no other drugs helped. | F | 55 | 1 years 2 MG 1X day | 3/14/2012 | 3 | anxiety, poor sleep | headache (once), mild "hangover", stagger when I get up at night | I've been careful with lorazepam; skipped 2 days a week to avoid addiction; lately dr. cut me back to four times a week. The drug has helped me cope w/anxiety caused by work/health problems; it's taken the edge off. I get little euphoria from the low dose, tho sometimes I smoke weed in a.m. and the lorazepam half-life enhances that drug. However, after three months the issues remain and I have to either make a real change or continue to rely on drugs, however sparingly used, to take edge off blunted lifestyle. | M | 60 | 3 months .5 1X day | 3/5/2012 | 5 | NEUROPATHY PAIN ARMS AND LEGS | Virtually none | Have found this the only thing that is effective while not building a immunity. Take .25mg doses and will on rare occasions take up to 3 doses a day. My sister is using the same dosage for her restless leg syndrome | M | 68 | 8 years .25MG 1X AN | 2/28/2012 | 5 | anxiety and sleep | never really had any except sleepiness a little in the beginning but no side effects after few days...can even take 4mg a day without being overly sleepy and can function fine!..have ambien for sleeplessness too just in case. i typically switch back and forth each year between ativan and xanax and have had no problems with either! nothing better for anxiety! | M | 39 | 3 years 2mg 1X day | 2/24/2012 | 4 | Migraines, sleep not restful | they described it as "acute altered level of consciousness and vomiting." it was weird I felt like the room was tilting so had a hard time walking, roommates had to each take an arm and help. My speech was all slurred and my vision was off, seeing 2 of things and several times I looked at things (like the dots on the hospital ceiling) and they appeared to be moving. | I've only taken it for a week, and the other times it's always worked well. Haven't had any migraines since I started, and I wake up more easily/feeling more rested. What I remember from last night was realizing I hadn't taken one of the medications I usually take in the morning, so I took it shortly after taking the lorazepam. For the life of me I still can't remember what I took. But the folks in ER said they thought it was probably an interaction from the combination of the two. | F | 36 | 8 days 25 (.25?) 1X day | 2/23/2012 | 4 | C-PTSD, Anxiety | Hard to sleep at bedtime without it. | I need this medication more often than not. I try not to take it very often. I am afraid of addiction so I keep it down to a minimum, some days I can go without it all day. It's unfortunate it is addictive. | F | 45 | 9 years 1 mg 3X day | 2/19/2012 | 5 | stroke related | sleepiness | Have been on it for a few years after having strokes in 2005/2006. Helps with seizure control and anxiety | M | 50 | 1mg 2X day | 2/17/2012 | 5 | anxiety due to stroke | drowsiness | M | 60 | 24 months 1 mg 3X day | 2/15/2012 | 4 | Jitters and anxiety | No side effects | F | 81 | 6 years 2 mg daily | 1/15/2012 | 4 | Anxiety/Mania | I am to take 2mg of lorazepam whenever I feel a manic episode coming on. Usually this escalate and I become quite out of control. However when I take lorazepam it chills me out and makes me feel happy as opposed to angry. It's worked well for me, but I've only used it twice, when absolutely necessary. Doesn't make me tired at all. | F | 25 | 7 days 2mg | 12/20/2011 | 3 | anxiety, poor sleep | staggering, drowsiness, headache, mild euphoria | Too much bad luck in recent months with health/ $ problems threw me in grip of relentless anxiety; usually I can tone it down with CBT, Yoga, Melatonin...but nothing worked. I was on Valium for short time in teens and it did help me. Drs. have forced awful SSRI meds on me last year (i.e. Paxil) citing benzo addiction potential, so this time I suggested a one-time Rx, was Rxed lorazepam, & it has helped. | M | 59 | 21 days .5 mg 1X day | 12/19/2011 | 5 | To make me sleep | None! This is the first and only drug I've ever taken that does exactly what I wanted with not one side affect. | I take this med. to help me sleep. It shuts my mind down. I came across it by accident, my ex. mother in law took it for anxiety, I ask to try some and immediately I had to go see my own Dr. for a script. My mind will go all night thinking about things, I can fall asleep without it but not for long. If I run out of my meds (which I have) I get no sleep and dread the next day :-( This has truly been the best med. ever made, and I don't how I'd do without it, I even tried to wean myself off just to see and that was a horrible week. | M | 44 | 7 years 40 1X day | 10/22/2011 | 5 | Insomnia | None | I take it to help me sleep and it works fine without leaving me drowsy. I take one tab each night just like I take a vitamin each morning. No side effects, no comlaints | M | 59 | 10 years 1mg 1X day | 10/11/2011 | 5 | Patellar Dislocation | It made me tired. | It worked very very well | F | 15 | 1 times 1 1X O | 10/2/2011 |
