"this drug nearly ruined my life. but, you don&#039;t have to believe me. just go google &quot;lorazepam withdrawal&quot; or &quot;ativan withdrawal&quot; and you can see it for yourself. i was never told how horrific the withdrawal would be from this medicine. i have spent nearly 5 months in extreme anxiety that is nearly 50 times the intensity of the anxiety i had when starting this med. the doctors are not educated on the w/d of this med because the pharm companies do not release these studies because then they wouldn&#039;t prescribe it! i became agitated, suicidal, depressed and ptsd-like symptoms from this drug. not one person warned me and i just took it everyday like the bottle said, many times less than prescribed. please do your research!"
