"i have previously had a problem with alcohol, and i have tried any non-benzo on the market but nothing has helped me with my anxiety attacks. i took lorazepam 0.5 mg for the first time yesterday. i had forgotten what it felt like not to be anxious. i was able to enjoy a few hours of not being afraid. i know it is not a long term fix, but now i know what i am striving for when i am thinking of getting healthy."
