| Hi, I have a problem that I dont know how to deal with. I have noticed recently that I have started to forget things. I mean not the kind when you cannot remember what you had for lunch yesterday, but really serious stuff. I literally have black outs. It has started to affect my work. As a reason for this memory loss I think I should blame Lorazepam. I have been using this drug occasionally for the insomnia. Could I be right about the connection between Lorazepam and memory loss? |

| Hi, you didnt say how often you use Lorazepam for your insomnia. Lorazepam is a very serious drug from the group of benzodiazepines. My mother used to take this drug for her anxiety and it really used to calm her down. And as soon as she felt better her doctor would take her of Lorazepam. That is why it is very strange your doctor prescribed Lorazepam to you for insomnia. At least I find this drug way to strong for the treatment of your problem. You should definitely see your doctor right away. It could be that Lorazepam is responsible for your black outs. And even if it is not, having black outs is a serious thing. You really dont have the time to contemplate to what might have caused them. They mean something seriously wrong is going on in your head. And only a doctor can figure out the problem. Good luck! |

I took Lorazepam for 3 days and I already quite. I couldn't remember what i did or ate or hanged out with the day before i took the med. It was kind of scary. I was taking it for panic disorder, but thank god im getting better w/o the medication. I fight through it by myself. You should definitly find the problem that is causing you not to sleep well ( your bed, stress, bathroom or what ever) then try to work the problem out w/o using any medications. If that doesn't work, then go your local GNC store and they have some over the counter medication that will put you to sleep. But becareful not to get used to them. Just use them when you really need them no exeptions. Moreover, internet articles show that Lorazepam causes impared memory, so i would stop right way if i was you. Good luck |
