Dear lybrate-user,
lorazepam is not a medicine for ocd. It is risky to take for such a long time. It may cause withdrawal symptoms, if you have become dependent on it. Please consult a psychiatrist who will prescribe ssri group of drugs for ocd depending on your tolerability.

The medicines you are taking like zolpidem and lorazepam are not indicated as the primary treatment of insomnia in the context of bipolar disorder. You need to restart the course from your treating psychiatrist and take the medicines as advised. The doctor, once he feels that your symptoms are well under control, will slowly taper the medicines as stop. Please don't self medicate, since insomnia in bipolar disorder can sometimes go either way, up (hypo/mania), or down (depression) and it will ne...more

What ever may be the treatment you are taking you should give up alcohol with determination. Once youngive up you should maintain abstinence. Withdrawl symptoms last for 10 days after you give up alcohol. The distress is mitigated by benzo diazepines and supportive measures. My best advise is to go to a psychiatrist and you will be advised after full evaluation.

Why would you consult a neurologist for a psychiatric issue? Stick with your medicine or see some other psychiatrist.
Best is you go for psychotherapy sessions online or in person and get a hang on your anxiety by learning how to deal with it.

Hi,
ativan is a potent anti-anxiety medication, but it is highly addictive and difficult to quit especially after prolonged use. Self-medication is always risky and can be hazardous. So, it is in your best interest if you consult a nearby psychiatrist and discuss for safer alternatives of ativan and if ativan needs to be taken, it should be taken under a psychiatrist's supervision.

Hello lybrate-user
your doctors advice is right
ativan and lonazep both are benzodiazepines which cause dependence. Meaning you can get addicted to them.
In the long term the addiction will result in memory disturbances, gait disturbances etc which you must avoid right now.
Reduce it slowly over two months but do reduce it.

Don't believe the hype and do not be taken away by market gimmicks
companies offer many types of nonsurgical penis-enlargement treatments, and often promote them with serious-looking advertisements that include endorsements from "scientific" researchers.
Look closely — you'll see that claims of safety and effectiveness haven't been proved.
Marketers rely on testimonials, skewed data and questionable before-and-after photos. Dietary supplements don't require approval by the food and...more
