Dear Ask The Doctor: Hi ...they put me on lorazpam 1mg for anxiety and i cant sleep at nite due to the axniety only taking one a nite this was primary doc waiting on therapy doc..to call with appt. i have only taken 23 pill since oct 28 till nov 24 ...i want off have i taken to much to come off ...how do i get off ... i hate these pills Dear Bea: Lorazepam is commonly prescribed for the treatment of anxiety, muscular spasms and insomnia. Lorazepam withdrawal must be done gradually to minimise withdrawal symptoms. Addiction to lorazepam/ativan can occur after just a couple of weeks of regular use. Sudden withdrawal from lorazepam can be serious and potentially life threatening, and may cause seizures and psychosis. You will have to consult with you physician on gradual withdrawing from the drug. |
