MedHelp Member's Question

Lorazepam

by nowayout, Nov 11, 2007 04:26PM

Been on lorazepam (1mg) for 4 yrs now. Trying to get off it. How do I do this? Also, I tried to get off it a few weeks ago, and my blood pressure went up, and I got scared, so I started taking it again. Please someone help! I am a strong woman.I am just afraid that my blood pressure will go up again. Never taken any other drug in my life...This wouldnt be so bad if i could sleep at night,.. any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

To: nowayout

you take 1mg a day that is nothing, talk to your dr about getting him to start tappering you down. or try taking one half pill a day and see how that works then when you see your DR ask for the .5 mg
but talk to your doctor------NOAH
