Lorazepam
anxiety
"I am a 35 year old female with Bipolar Disorder Type 1 and generalised anxiety.  I've been taking lorezapam off and on for about seven years, only during panic attacks or particularly bad spells when my anxiety can't be managed by the coping techniques I've learned over the years through CBT, mindfulness meditation, etc, and my daily mental health medications (quetiapine, venlafaxine, and topiramate).

When I do need to use it lorezapam is a godsend.  It works more quickly than diazepam, which I'd previously tried, which is what you want when you're in the midst of a panic attack or suffering badly with anxiety.  It's very effective without being too much and I haven't had any side effects, just slight sedation."
