"this medication is amazing if used as designed. for years i have suffered with gripping panic attacks that turned into seizures if they were real bad.  i got to the point that i couldn&#039;t ride in a car with someone. it was bleak. i&#039;m a young guy and avoided going out with people even girls. lorazepam paired with (more importantly) cbt. has turned me about 80% back to &quot;normal&quot; use it as needed. do not rely on it. was going though 30 a month, now it&#039;s 30 a year. be responsible and talk to someone. medication is a way out, not a crutch to use forever. cognitive behavioral therapy is where you make real strides!! sorry to get preachy but i dislike drug &quot;abuse&quot;"
