I have been taking 1 mg of Lorazepam for 10 days, now I am only taking .5 mg a day for 10 days then no more.?


Question:
I have started to feel nausea and vomitting. Could this be due to the fact that I am taking a lower dose? This is my doctor's recommendation to slowly get me off the drug, as I am also taking 20 mg of generic Celexa a day.

Answers:
It could be because you are going through withdrawl as Lorazepam is an addictive drug.

If the symptoms continue, call your doctor. But he has instructed you to go off the medication slowly, which is correct.
Ativan is an extremely addictive drug, I used to take it. Even a decade later I still feel some mild withdrawal affects. I do not think anyone should be prescribed this drug.

Withdrawal can also cause insomnia. Are you sleeping ok?
