"i have used lorazepam 1mg tablets 3 times daily for 35 years without any side effects. i cannot live without it nor do i want to live without its effect on my brain.  without it i am an introvert, with it i have been a successful extrovert.  as a doctor once mentioned to me the release of my &quot;secret springs&quot; occur and i get flushed as red as a beet of thoughts that go through my mind when i am talking to people. i will not live like that ever again.  at times doctors have been reluctant to give it to me, i beg and explain my reactions without it. so far, i have always gotten a prescription.  i have never abused it by taking more than the 3 mg&#039;s per day and i realize how powerful it is on the brain."
