"I have severe social anxiety, am uncomfortable with groups of people, and was like this all through my high school and college years. It had a profound effect on what I was able to articulate in. During my annual physical in my mid-twenties, my PCP picked up on the fact that I was depressed and sent me to a social worker. After several sessions, I was referred to a psychiatrist and diagnosed with severe depression with anxiety disorder. He put me on many different antidepressants and anti-anxiety medications until finally the combination of Cymbalta and Ativan started working for me. That was 6 years ago, and I feel like a new person. I can get up in front of a group and speak! Something I would have died for, I had to do before. All that time I thought something was terribly wrong with me. Ativan saved my life."

"I have been having anxiety since I was 7 or 8 years old! I used to take Paxil when I was about 18 years old, and it helped except for the upset stomach part, but then that went away (from Paxil). I was first prescribed Lorazepam when I was, I think, 20, and have been taking it now for 12 years! I love it, and the only thing I find is I get a dry mouth every now and then, but it's not so horrible as some of the other ones I've taken. I'm just trying to find another medicine now that can stop the attacks."

"I've been on 0.5 mg for claustrophobia, especially when flying or in crowded areas or tight spaces. I use a CPAP machine, which adds to the anxiety, but lorazepam works. 0.5 mg a day, and it works. Some days, I need to take two."

"It is important to taper slowly off these drugs - your system will be in flux for years after so it can rebuild natural GABA receptors. You can use GABA powders to help the process along but not so many supplements that you over ride the process of healing. I spent three months of tapering off of them. I did not know they were habit forming till doing research on them years after starting. Wouldn't be nice if the causes were addressed instead of drugged."

"Avoid benzos. I'm an alcoholic now, thanks to Lorazepam addiction. They leave a mark on you. Lorazepam was my vice. Again, avoid benzos. It can't end well. Benzos are a one-way street."
