> I am just starting to take Lorazepam as well as just starting therapy. Am I going to get hooked on this stuff? The first few times I took it, boy was I mellow. And I had a great day at work also. No stress!!
To put it bluntly...yes, you will get hooked. Even if you use the drug properly, you will have a difficult time giving it up even if you no longer feel you need it. And it gets more difficult the longer you stay on
the drug. I've tried for a year and a half to get off these types of drugs (ativan,klonopin, xanax) and still can't give them up. Be very careful with these drugs...Tom
