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.

My dear Cindy, I so terribly sorry to hear about your grandmother. I have no words to express the sorrow that you have been facing daily since the loss of your mother. You and I have talked on occasions sharing our feelings on this subject as I had lost my father in a similar situation. I can say that it must be a terrible feeling to have to watch the loss of one of your own children first. If she has given up at her age I'm sure it must do with that feeling. The natural course of life should be our parents go before ourselves. You can look at and deal with this in two ways. If she has given up and progresses to the final journey, Cin she'll be with your mother and you will have two "Angels" working together looking upon you. If she is sick and could recover and have quality life if she had the will to, then you need to give her the reasons to live, like for your children and you. Cin, you must know that sometimes living is harder then dying when you have been around for so long and seen so much. If it's her time Cin, then let her know that it's okay to go. It is the journey that we must all take. I feel that we shall all be together again with our loved ones someday. Let your mother and my father get our rooms ready dear. I know that the void that has been left can never be filled and i'm sure you feel that you won't be able to take another one so soon if it comes to that. I also know that you are stronger then you think! Either way you wiil meet the challenge. We will always be her for youalong each step of the way. I shall keep you in my prayers along with her.
Power & Magick 2 U,
peace of the Lord on you always,
Luv Wiz

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandmother's health, i know she means so much to you!
I will pray that she gets better, and that she finds strength to be able to deal with the death of her daughter.
Just knowing that you are a wonderful granddaughter, and i know that she is comforted in knowing that you are there for her.
You are such a special person, and i know that you mean the world to her.  Just keep being you, and hopefully she will take comfort that she is not alone.
I'm sorry sweetie!
I will say a prayer for her and for you!
Love Jenny

cindi:
i'm so sorry to hear of the decline your g randmmother health has
taken, Believe me i know how hard it can be to watch the decline
of some one you love. i've wartched my father rapidly degenerate
into senility. it is not fair, or at least the purpose of why this
has to happen eludes me. it happened so quickly with my father, it
was like he just started to very rapidly slip away. i had so many
things i ment to tell him, that i thought i would have plenty of
time later to say. i guess later snuck up on all 0f us quicker than
i thought possible.
what to do? (beter known as broken record kip time) My first sponcer in a 12 step program always told me to deal with my problems, as they appeared directly in front of me. the things most importatant to deal with are right in front of you. if you catch
yourself looking to either side or thinking about something that
isn't right in front of you your headed the wrong way. i've worn
myself out trying to disprove this-but the dog needs feeding, one
of the kids nose needs to be wiped, the groocery store, your best
friends bithday, so many small and insignificant little things that
all add up to something very important-your life. There is no beter sleeping aid than laying down each night knowing you've done the very best you can. take care of the little suff, the
larger issue stuff will work out.
what is this "burden the rest of us with your problems" stuff?
your allowed (as far as I'm concerned any how) to have problems
too. you should know that even the fixer needs to be fixxed!

lets all stick togather- it's getting real cold out there!
