Anxiety: It is not a minor issue. Lorazepam is not that strong. You might try chamomile tea to begin with. Avoid caffeine and sweets, mr rabbit.

Family Medicine: This is the very reason so many in medicine are frustrated today. There was nothing in your history that required an emergency room. Your history is exactly why one has a family doctor. You need to have a relationship with your physician. They get to know you best. They can offer you options for treating your problems. Always start with your family doctor. I think you should get to them soon.
