What Causes Severe Stomach And Intestinal Pain When Taking Lorazepam At Night?
I've been taking 2mg of lorazepam at night for 11 months now. I've been experiencing extremely painful stomach and intestinal pain from late afternoon into the evening. Pain gets worse after eating food. I have eliminated so many foods from my diet but I don't think it's the food. I found some stories written by people with the same symptoms. Could it be the medicine ?

Hi,
I really appreciate your concern, it is better to avoid taking the 'Benzodiazepine" (Lorazepam). It may cause the addiction and bad side effect which affect the mental condition and other systemic effect, what the symptoms that you have could be due to this only so better to see the psychiatrist for counselling and de-addiction query.
Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
