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
