Q: what do you all think about lorazepam 1mg?
For me, Lorazapam works very well to take the edge off the anxiety that comes along with my bipolar. 1 mg is effective for me. It doesn't do anything but take the edge off. No other side effects. It's a life saver when I get stressed out and start to lose it. -Kathy
I take .5 in the morning and .5 in the eve. I was worried about dependancy but I would rather have a dependancy than feel anxious or manic which is why I take it. My Pdoc said if I feel mania coming on I can take an extra dose. It's nice to know it's there for me if i need it. I know some people can be judgemental about it but I need to do whats best for me to stay sane and out of trouble.
