A member asked:
What are the withdraw effects from lorazepam; if you had been taking it nearly every day?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Seizures, tremors: I would talk to you doctor about a way to do this without stopping completely. Seizures that accompany benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life threatening. You will also feel very bad days if you try to do this alone. There are some medicines that you can take once or twice a day that can prevent withdrawal. If you do not have an appointment with a doctor go to the emergency room. Stay safe!
