Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Wel looking into the problem I would like to tell you that it will be very difficult to say which of these has resulted in this allergy and whether this allergy is even related to theses drugs or not but still I think lorazepam can be stopped as it would not affect your BP . Stopping any other of these can lead to fluctuations in BP.
But before stopping any medications you must consult your treating physician .
Take care.

I did not have any of these symptoms until I started taking these meds. Dr, reduced my dosages by half on the bata blocker and nerve meds. Effects get really bad when time is up on dosage. Do you think am becoming addicted to Lorazepam? Really want to get off whatever is causing problems. Have Drs. appt. Wed. Looking for heads up advice before appt. XXXXXX

Dear Sir,
In my opinion I dont think that you are developing addictions to lorazepam as it is a small time to be dependant on that and its a small dose that you are taking so would not make much of a difference . Lorazepam can be stopped if your treating physician agrees to it .
