A member asked:
I use lorazepam 0.5mg once or twice a week for anxiety. the last 2 times, it has caused wild, rapid spasms to occur on my r eyelid, for hours. this has never happened before. do i have to stop using it? are eyelid spasms a dangerous sign?

My sense is that the eyelid symptoms were unrelated to the lorazepam. The irritable eyelid muscles or suoerficial nerve were more apt to be caused by eyestrain,fatigue,stress,caffeine,bright lights. I think you'll be fine using lorazepam as you have been doing.

You possess likely orbital myokymia which is not due to Lorazepam

Taking 0.5mg Lorazepam as needed for anxiety & muscle relaxant/pain. How often is too often? If I take it 2 or 3 days in a row is that too much? If I take it a total of 6 times in a month? How do I know when I've used it often enough to need a taper?
