When I was in hospital I took Lorazepam. It was very nice, the only time I've been relaxed in years. Forgotten what it felt like.

But after a few days of having them every day, a nurse said I should try to do without them (anxiety is not my main problem). But it was HORRIBLE. I felt shaky and weird and like I REALLY wanted to take another one. I stopped though and now I'm glad because I think they are, for me anyway, a sort of emergency med instead of something long-term.

ps: Ed_UK, which Uni are you at? And you're doing pharmacology?! Wow. Very useful indeed! I was at Cambridge doing science before I got ill. I think all of this has turned me off science tho! What yr are you in? You've probably explained all this in your numerous previous posts! so maybe i should read a few instead of getting you to explain all again.

pps: If it is not too much trouble, do u think you could briefly explain (if u know) what causes psychosis, and what APs do to counteract this? And what's the difference between ruminating thoughts and delusions, or are they basically the same things? Thanx so much if u can enlighten me at all!
