Lorazepam - Does this medication make you feel weird or just relaxed. I am deathly afraid of flying?

I take Lorazepam before any stressful situation and it works like a charm. Personally I am on a high dose of 1mg up to 4 times per day. it will make you relaxed and calm. DO NOT mix with alcohol under any circumstances!

Im on lorazepam,have been on it for just over a month for axiety, dont be scared to take it, you will be fine, i only take the .5 ones, they are lowest you can go, and it helps all the time when i feel axiety, it just relaxes your muscles so your not all tense up and feeling nervouse, its does not make you feel drugged at all just relaxes you, hope this helps!!! :)

Atavan will definitely make you tired/relaxed, and this can indeed work to your benefit if you allow it to relax you. We can often make things worse via anticipation and fight a medication, thus making thing worse. Possible you can address this fear with your Dr and possibly get some tips on relaxing the thoughts, as for the Atavan, it is a good choice. Keep your Dr up on your anxiety about flying. Hope this helps.
