Resolved Question: Need some advise about Lorazepam medicine.?
Hello! I'm 27 y.o guy (a wheelchair user). There has been real tough times for me in life. Along with anxiety problem, I do have some back issues as well. But I think it even makes my anxiety worse, when I think about my health. I also get nervous easily and my heart rate than goes up to a 100 or more. I have Lorazepam prescribed by my doctor long time ago, but mostly never take it. Today I was just feeling anxious and nervous, so I took 0,5 mg Lorazepam pill. It works good to calm me down, but it does make me fatigue and sleepy. Is there any other medicine (as good as lorazepam) that can calm you down, but not make you sleepy.
I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks
Resolved Question: All types of anxiety/Depression/Almost Psychosis get the same medicine, then why different diagnosis made ?
In most of the psychosis or Anxiety/depression the same single drug works then why there are many type of medicines for the same to treat. Whether anxiety phobia, social anxiety, panic attacks, depresson-SSRI,Benzodiazapine works, like wise in Schizophrenia, MDP, other functional or organic psychosis Olanzapine / Risperidone works-then why different diagnosis. Why not the lessen the number of the disorder to facilitate the treatment. As When Olanzapine/Risperidone solves many psychotic disorder, so why many other molecules are in market.Alprazolam, Diazepam, Lorazepam,Nitrazepam, then why more and more zams are coming in the market almost every day claiming their supriority over other ? Is it lmprovement or marketing by introducing more and more drugs in developing country which is a big market for them as well for trials.

Resolved Question: Lexapro/ Ativan (Lorazepam)?
My doctor has just put me on two new medications, Lexapro and Ativan.
I am not someone who likes to take any kind of medicine, even things like tylenol, so my body is not real accoustomed to medication. This being said, I've had a few side effects that I was wondering about.
With the Ativan, which I was perscribed to help me sleep, relax my muscles, and deal with anxiety, I'm not having any issues. I take it right before bed.
When I wake up, I take the Lexapro. This morning, I woke up at six a.m., took my dose, and fell back asleep until 10! I am not a late sleeper by habit. When I did get up, my arms and back felt lame, which I assumed was from the muscle relaxant in the ativan. But the worst of all was that I was shaking. My gross motor skills seemed fine, but my fine motor skills were shaky and unsteady.
I was wondering if these are normal symptoms, or if I should call my doctor. The shaking subsided within a few hours. Thanks!
Resolved Question: Can you help me figure out how much of this medicine to take?
