What Does Severe Fatigue While On Lorazepam And Tramapine Indicate?

hi Doc--I m 72--been successfully using lorazipam for 21 years--to treat occasional anxiety --I use it on average 2ce a week--1/2 mg useually works --am type 2 diabetic & pretty well controlled--is there any reason they would switch me to an anti depressant that makes me depressed & suicidal --I was just on trimasipine ! think--it made my urine dark as coffee & I felt totally fatigued all the time--couldn t face people--they pulled my little sister off her very effective anti depressant when she was being evicted from a section 8 that was being sold--she committed suicide--I know we re old but are they trying to kill us?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Yes, you are right. You should not be given new anti depressant drug if you are doing good on Lorazepam . And all your current symptoms are due to side effect of this new drug. So better to consult psychiatrist and discuss about possible side effects of Tramapine. I am sure psychiatrist will stop it and let you continue with Lorazepam only. Don't worry, you will be alright.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
