Anxiety
"I&#039;ve been receiving relief from the intense anxiety l used to feel that started 20 yrs ago by taking 0.5 mg of Lorazepam. Usually only at night until my seasonal work kicks into gear and then occasionally once during the day. But it has been a life saver. The triggering divorce from 20 yrs ago left me depressed and the side effects left me spacey and numb. The doctor who identified the real issue as anxiety and not depression l feel saved my life. I guess there are those who get hooked and/or abuse this drug...but it has been safe for me w/ very few side effects. I&#039;m most grateful that it doesn&#039;t make me groggy the next day. I&#039;m up and ready and clear headed. A brief attempt w/ Ambien freaked me out as I couldn&#039;t remember driving and stuff."
