"i take lorazepam 1mg for anxiety. it really helps. my symptoms are heart racing, rescuing thoughts, sharing, hard to breathe, and the worst is heat flashes because i turn red and it makes me more embarrassed.. the only concern i have is when i take it consistently is good. but, i ran out a couple times. it&#039;s usually 2 or 3 days before i fill it. i noticed during those days i have more anxiety than i did before i ever started taking it. i would only get heat flashes one a week or so before i started this medication. the days i missed it i had an average 2-3 a day. i don&#039;t want this medication to make me worse.. also, i feel like my memory and focus have decreased. i&#039;m thinking of switching. just sucks because i really like it otherwise."
