    Hey, I am from Toronto too.. I didn't really have any problems getting Lorazepam from my psychiatrist; he pretty much just prescribed me more Loraz and Cipralex every time I went. Not gonna lie, the stuff helps, but only about 40 min after you take it. I've been off meds for about a year now and recently some episodes have returned which I can't really deal with; they are anxiety related but they also make me feel really weak and numb; I get extreme confusion to the point I can't speak properly and have trouble putting on a shirt. Movement gets really sluggish and unresponsive, afterwards my ears burn and sounds are muffled.. thought it was a stroke but no. Afterwards I get really bad vertigo and palpitations, and it keeps coming back every day. Has any of this ever happened to you during a panic attack?

    Anyways, if you would like to talk more about your symptoms, meds and doctors/pharmacists I would be more than willing. send me your email or private message (if that's an option on here?)
