How To Prevent Addiction To Lorazepam?
I am taking lorazepam for both insomnia and anxiety, have been occasionally for several years. Am now 85 and feel I need to take it often, e.g., every night. The dose I take is .5 mg....At this stage of my life I am not concerned about addiction....just a more peaceful mind. Thank you. Ah, money, I forgot that nothing is free these days!Thanks anyway.

Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to reduce and divide the dose under physician monitory
This will really help you to reduce the usage of Lorazepam...
For both Insomnia and Anxiety I suggest you to hear relaxation music or Meditation as these may improve your health better and will get peace of mind.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
