If i do not feel lorazepam is working well, what is a comparable benzodiazepine? i use them as sparingly as possible, but i do know i need them.

THERE ARE PLENTY: Of alternatives for benzodiazepines, if indeed that is what is indicated in your particular case. These drugs are helpful but also dangerous if not dosed/used properly so please discuss these issues with your doctor as soon as you possibly can. Hope you stay well.
