Hi everyone, I am a newbie:hugs:
I am 37 years old and a mum of 3, although very sadly I lost my middle daughter to cancer at 2 and a half years old. I have always been a terribly anxious person, suffering from all sorts of anxiety, you name it, I have had it! I suffered post natal depression after my first two children but because I lost my daughter 3 months before my son was born I didn't experience an anxiety as the doctors had my medication sorted. My problem now is that 3 years after the loss of my daughter my anxiety has returned with a vengeance. I now have anxiety sweating and claustrophobia which is debilitating me. My doctor has prescribed me Lorazepam (Activan) 1mg tablets. The only other benzodiazepine I have had is diazepam and I was only on 5 mg 3 times daily at my very worst, this was before I had my children. My question is "is it okay to take 0.5 mg when needed (maybe twice daily) without me needing to sleep/not function, I clearly need to be there for my other two children"? Thank you in advance.
