I have been taking lorazepam for about a year now, I initially started because of anxiety but over time the Dr. gave it to me for insomnia. I started out taking only a 1/2 of a 1mg tap. Well now I am up to 2 tabs atnight. I had tried to wean myself off, since some other medical people were magnifying how addicting it was, which scared away from it. But, I cannot sleep without it! My mind clears up when I cut it back to 1/2 tab, but then the sleeplessness comes back! I cannot tolerate not sleeping!  That turns me into a raving witch! 
Well, now that I am back up to 2 tabs now I am deeply depressed and angry, losing my temper a lot this week. Yes, I called my prescribing Dr. last night and he agrees that it is the lorazepam that is doing this to me. But, I think that he is on vacation, so I won't be seeing him for at least a week and a half. He did leave the door open to call him if I need to.
Plus since I have been taking it a long with Norco for RA pain, I have not been able to drive, just not all there anymore. Besides I do not want a DUI!
Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this lorazepam.
