I suggest you avoid sleeping pills.. Avoid sleep during daytime. Have early and light dinner so that the food is digested before you go to bed. Don’t do any concentr...more

It is not scientific to take multiple medicines of same class simultaneously. Better to take one in appropriate dosages. It will be wise if you discuss with your psychiatrist to consider switching to other medicines which don't have abuse or addiction potential and whose prescription can be easily procured from anywhere.

Hi Mr. lybrate-user
you may be having a benzodiazepine addiction which is why you find it so difficult to stop the lorazepam.
Your ultimate goal should be to stop lorazepam.
Start reducing it to 1/2 then 1/4 then 1/8 over two months.
It’s very important to stop using benzodiazepines so as to maintain your cognition and memory in the long term.
Try deep breathing exercises and deep muscle relaxation techniques to help along the way. Hope this helps

There may be underlying or Co morbid Parkinsons disease. But in this position its difficult to diagnose as the Pt is on antipsychotic. Gabapentin has no role in decreasing antipsychotic induced slowness in movements. But its often used as a treatment of Akathesia which...more

There are usually other safer drugs which are started along with lorazepam who takes at least a week to show its effect and thereafter lorazepam is usually tapered off and stopped. Taking lorazepam for longer duration, especially without a clinician's advise, will make you dependent on same, after which it becomes really tough to stop/quit same. So it's in your best interest if you visit a psychiatrist to con...more

Dear lybrate-user you seem to be running a commentary of questions. First of all, let me reassure you that it is not at all compulsory that your son would have your illness. Psychiatric disorders have a hereditary role but the risk if calculated as compared to general population (I mean the ones that do not have any diagnosed psychiatric disorder) is greater.
As far as your complaints are concerned being a case of bipolar your treating psychiatrist must have informed you about the nature of ...more
