Then again I started it on 21st dec since then I have taken 8 pills of 0.5 mg on every 4th day and 8th pill means last one today on 17 jan. I also want to tell you since july I was taking natural medication for that it helped me and I was taking classes to manage. I just want to know that can I stop taking lorazepam from today instantly or do I need to taper it or now I can’t stop it. I also want to share my ongoing situation of anxiety with you. I have overcome my almost all the fears. Many of the symptoms reduced. I am coping with my thoughts. Still I got panic attack sometime am working on it only one symptom which increased extremely is acidity and last 3 time I took loraz for this.

Hi lybrate-user! hope you are doing well. First of all, I would highly recommend you stop altering your dosage of medication without any professional help, it has major side effects than you can imagine. If you genuinely feel your situation has improved and you want to wean off your medication, please get in touch with your doctor who will recommend a systematic way to do so minimizing the side effects. Having said that big kudos for you for going out there and taking classes and trying to overc...more

Cognitive dysfunction can possibly be attributed to both: your illness, as well as the medications you are taking. It is however essential that you take the medication as prescribed by your psychiatrist. Do not modify, alter, stop or change any medications on your own. The best thing would be to approach your treating doctor with this problem so that they can make any changes (if required) in your prescription.

I am 40 years old who is in quite good health. I suffer from health anxiety. I am always worried that something's wrong with me for which I get unnecessary tests done. The results always come out negative. I also have mild BP which fluctuates between 130/82 to 140/90. I am having metolar xr 25 in the morning and amlosafe 2.5 in the night. I also get anxiety when I see the doctor checking my BP and once my BP rose to 140/100. Am now being prescribed mild anti anxiety medications (contains lorazepam) of 0.25 mg. I could not sleep at night thinking whether I would get sleep or not. This medication is helping me. Should I continue with the same power of BP medications? And can I continue with the anti anxiety medications. I exercise an hour daily. Please let me know. Whether I am ok or need to see a therapist.

In the bargain you will auto-suggest and create actual medical problems including your hypertension. Now however you cann...more

Anxiety Stress patients worry too much...Stress In today’s day & age where stress is high, feelings of frustration can emerge. It is our perception that can change our current negative situation into a healthy & positive one. Another way of perceiving these feelings of frustration can be by looking at them as an opportunity to push ourselves to go that little extra mile until we achieve our objective. However, there are times when we all can go around in circles; and being in this space can be q...more

Dear user when we are aware about our problem we are able to control but we have to control it in a proper way. You are too young and taking these medicines and definitely these medicines have side effects, it’s not good for your physical as well as your mental health. If you don’t want to take medication for life time then please wake up yourself, medicines are not a perfect solution for mental health, you have to work on your own, your will power, your mind and thoughts. But due to certain rea...more

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details mentioned. From that it is clear that she needs a detailed examination and may be needs the help of diabetologist as well as neurologist. So such a case can not be managed by online consultation. A detailed examination plus certain specific investigations are required. So please go to a good reputed institution where all the specialists are available. Thanks.
