Lorazepam helps but ...

Posted , 3 users are following.

I take lorazepam occasionally to help with sleep and / or anxiety and it helps me a great deal with functioning during stressful periods.

The problem is my GP surgery will not prescribe it unless it's an exceptionally bad episode. I find this very unfair given I have taken it responsibly in the past.

Are their any online resources for acquiring this medication?

    Generally, you can not buy a controlled substance like this w/o a Rx and I would not want to. Be careful using benzos chronically for anxiety management. These are very addictive drugs and you will become tolerant over time. I have been through 2 horrendous benzo withdrawals that I would not wish on anyone. Carefully weigh the long-term risk to benefit ratio before deciding on using this class of drugs like this. It is easier to come off a drug like heroin than it is a benzo like xanax, ativan, of klonopin. Good luck!

    You should ask a different GP for advice on what a person can try. I personally do not think you should try drugs online unless they are safe and we do alot of research on the drug and also look at many different reviews carefully.
