"i have had severe anxiety for a couple of years. my attacks get so bad, i feel i need to run as far away as i can. taking lorazepam 3mg a day has been a tremendous help. i have read comments about going off the medicine and the difficult withdrawls, but if something works in your personal lifestyle where nothing else has, why shouldn&#039;t you be able to stay on this medication as long as you need it? it&#039;s like high blood pressure. if you have it and can&#039;t get it under control, medications are key. no one starts telling you that you should stop the medication.
for some, lorazepam is a lifesaver. maybe not for everyone, but for me, in my situation it is."
