You have way too much on your plate to maintain your sanity,I believe.You need immediate help from a non-profit organization;United Way"1st call for help" dept.,
SOS shelter for women.(we have a huge one),YWCA,Crisis Center,Salvation Army,Volunteers of America. Catholic Charities (got loaRAB of praise,for a local nightmare,many deaths),local hospitals(ask for dept.),all religious organizations.
People love to help others,and I hope you find some peace of mind. Bill
 
do you have any family or frienRAB that can help you?


MeRAB can only do so much.....


May God bless you:angel:
 
Lorazepam is addictive and is generally prescribed for when you have acute symptoms of anxiety (as in, you're having a full blown panic attack). For maintenance generally doctors will prescribe some other type of non-narcotic anti-anxiety medication such as Buspar or some anti-depressants that also have anti-anxiety meRAB such as Zoloft. I take Diazepam (Valium) for my panic attacks and my doctor will give me 20 at a time but he expects that I will ration them out for several months. If I can't, he's going to have me come in for another type of long term medication. Much as we might like to cheerfully become addicted to our anti-anxiety medications, doctors are required to monitor their patients for addiction or drug abuse issues and to prescribe alternate meRAB if they see that happen. You're unlikely to find a doctor that will prescribe you unlimited quantities of an addictive medication like Lorazepam.
 
ask your dr about klonopin.....I am on .5mg a day...been on it for 2 months ...it helps and is not as addictive as ativan, xanax, or valium....
 
Carrisa,

SounRAB to me like you are addicted to the Lorazapam. Wean yourself off of it right away. Talk to you doctor about taking something else. If you are having panic from running out of a prescription, you are having an addiction to it. Stop taking it and get some help from your doctor immediately!!!!!

Take care,
Missy
