"i&#039;ve taken aleve and vicodin for my sciatica pain with limited results. taking lorazepam completely rids me of my hip/leg/back pain which is wonderful! i still have to remind myself to be easy on my hip and not try and clean the whole house because my pain is gone. i half a 1mg tablet so it doesn&#039;t sedate me. my intent is to not be completely knocked out. i want to be productive and it allows me that luxury. i know it&#039;s not generally prescribed for pain like this, but it sure as hell works for mine. i&#039;ve had no adverse side effects and it really helps me get through the day without constant pain."
