Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am going through a tough break-up and was prescribed Novo-Lorazem (Lorazepam) I am having a very tough day at the office this morning. Can I take one or will it knock me out at work. I am 42 and have lost considerable amount of weight. I only weigh 148lbs right now.
Hello, I think if the situation is that bad, then inspite of taking lorazepam, take sertraline or ecitalopram to treat depression. Lorazepam will only be symptomatic treatment but not help the real cause behind it. moreover, lorazepam is addictive in nature and harmful in long term use.
You should take the right drug ( anti depressant) and with that you will feel a lot better in few days only. this will also bring back appetite and feeling of well being. lorazepam is very sedative and may give you sleep all day long, and it becomes difficult to work and driving can be dangerous with it.
Hope there reply is useful for you Please feel free to ask more questions for clarification.
