Right had another few bad days and in the space of two weeks have taken 7 mgs. Two Wednesdays ago i had one, then the Thursday another, then Saturday another. I then left it for a week but this Saturday had 2mgs and today had 2 mgs. Will i start feeling withdrawal effects from this sort of taking? Thank for your time and patience x

To my understanding, Lorazepam can be taken on an as needed basis, so how you are using it seems appropriate.

There is always a risk of dependency with any benzo...but you seem to be taking a low dose, and just as much as you need to control your A/P, so I am sure that you will be fine.;)

Use your coping skills as well to have a double defense for the anxiety!! Need some ideas? Check out our Resources on our main page (1st post)

Peace and progress!

Hi

Good to meet you. I agree with SC you seem to be taking this medication responsibly and 7mg is a small amount over the course of two weeks. As SC mentioned Benzo's can be very addictive so it is always good to do something like CBT or Mindfulness Meditation to help ease your anxiety I hope things get better for you soon.

Take Care
