Lorazapam

[Dee]

I was taking 1 lorazapam at bed time for many years. It worked well as far as helping me sleep through the night. My Dr. retired and i ran out  I had some ativan that someone gave me which seems to work. My question is, will there be any withdrawal symptoms if i stop taking these all at once? any info on this would be appreciated.

I want to wish everyone a happy 225 year old independance birthday even if it's a little late. I didn't go to the fireworks this year. I was tired and needed to get up early this morning for my trip to the lung specialist. The nodules in the right lung are probley alright. BUT.... Doctors always say that when they talk to me... there's a swollen lymph node on my left side their concern with. I am going to have a bronchial scope on Monday. They will repeat the catscan in 2 months. I'm not worried and you guys shouldn't worry either. But remember me prayerfully as I know you do. I told my church family about all of you. I asked them to find a forum to learn about addiction if they think it's a disease of choice. I got a lot of understanding from them. Their good people.

It's great to hear you sounding so much better -- optimistic & determined. You deserve happiness & freedom from the hell you've described so well. Happy 4th of July to you too, my friend. -- Milo

The Wiz wants to wish ALL of you a very happy and safe 4th of July. This year Indepence day takes on a whole new meaning for me. I had forgotten how great it feels to really be independent of the "Dragon" Well, "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition" (my father in laws expression)LOL I see so many good things in the process of happening here on the forum. All pointing to Independence for so many. Thomas, you seem to have found something that's getting you better, Milo, you keep getting closer. Skipper, your daily posts tell me your determination will see you through. Jenny's back and in the process of making lif saving decisions for herself so that she can then help her loved ones. Cin, unless I'm wrong YOU are the first to make physical contact with one of our "cyber" "angels" and let us be a part of it throughout the whole process. I thank you for that. ( Brighty, get back her girl we miss you) Angelica, dear I'm praying for you as I know you are going through some times right now. Kerrie, seeing your posts again brought so much joy to me. :-) Your prayers are always felt for sure. Susanlea, the progress I've seen in your life gives a whole new meaning to "Independence" You go Girl! I know I've probably left someone out and for that I'm sorry but you all know who you are. When tears of happiness fill my eyes as they do today it does cloud up my memory a bit for all the names, but don't think that I have left them out of my heart. I see so many new beautiful people coming to this forum daily and recieving the same caring and support that I have revieved just as Cin had  said earlier. Cin and Thomas were ther from the start of my first post and the rest of you followed right behing. I WILL NEVER FORGET! God led me here, GOD keeps me here. God Bless each and every one of you this holiday and may His fireworks keep you safe and give you peace! I now want to extend a very warm Wizard cyber HUG to all of you.
Power & Magick 2 U all,
Peace & Light upon all of us addicts and their friends and FAMILIES,
Happy Fourth,
Love,
Wizard

Thank you all once more before i go to bed tonight!!!!
I am feeling better, and i feel a renewed strength knowing that you all are here for me.  I'm still overwhelmed by all your words of support and love, i just can't get over it!!!!
Such special words coming straight from your hearts too, what a gift you all are!
You are all in my prayers, and deserve to live your life to your fullest expectations, and i hope that you all get there seomday, and i have a feeling you will because you are all so very special and deserve the best that life can give!!!!!
Your words will echo in my mind, and get me through the dark moments that i encounter through my journey into wellness.
My husband is willing to go to rehab, it just a matter of finding a way to make it happen.
I have to get myself better for me and my children, so i can be strong and make sure that things don't fall apart.
The depression i was feeling earlier this week is no way that i want to live.  I can be happy, it's just these darn drugs that are doing this to me, i know that.  They give me the extreme highs, and are now giving me these extreme lows that i just can't stand.  This will give me the strength to beat this thing for good because i can't and won't live this way...  I am too happy of a person, and i have too much too do and too much living to do to let this drag me down, and that's exactly what it is doing.  
I will do this for me first, and then i will be able to focus on my husband if he is willing to help himself.
Thank you again, it's so late, i have to get some sleep.  Happy 4th of July to everyone.  Let this be a beginning of our independence for ourselves.  We have to do what needs to be done for ourselves, first.
Love Jenny
