Lorazepam on a shorter course few weeks is good drug, on a longer run is very harmful. It can produce early dementia, withdrawal seizures, personality changes, brain shrinkage. But you cannot stop suddenly. Consult a psychiatrist online or in person, it s dose has to be tapered and substitutes given.

There is nothing called better or inferior. All medications are tailored to an individual depending on the symptoms, response and tolerability. Over the Counter self medication and self medication by googling is dangerous to one's body and mind. Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and can cause severe dependence and side effects on a longer run. Escitalopram ad Sertraline are SSRI's and need to be prescribed carefully adjusting/ titrating dosage by a psychiatrist. Hope this info helps.

Hey lybrate-user!
I understand your confusion here. It sounds like it is in your best interest to reach out to your psychiatrist who prescribed you the medication and clarify these questions. It is important to ask any doubts that you have about your medication and its effect on your body to your psychiatrist. Hope this helps :)

No there is no permanent cure for schizophrenia. If she is not yet settled then increase dose of sizopin slowly. Go for tlc and dlc.

Insomnia is the resultant of main stress,& any other causes of grief/shock/psychologically focal/neurological complaints or any physical illness, medications, lifestyle, the food you take& its timings, etc.
In homeo, as medicines will be chosen based on reason, it works well. In fact, there are very good remedies in this system. Which doesn't show any side effects &quitens your mind?
Better to see any homeopathic specialist for better results.
