A member asked:

If you mention stress or anxiety migraine at the urg care doctors is it common to get lorazapam so readily, think i had ear inf or allergy.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

In my opinion?: My honest opinion is that sedatives are far too overprescribed in headache patients by primary intention and as a result people are led to believe that this type of medication is a TREATMENT for a headache when it really isn't.
