   Lorazepam???? GOOD or BAD?? (Depression board)

14th January 2005
Valium,and Diazepam are the same. Diazepam are generic form of Valium.
Diazepam is used for the short-term relief of symptoms related to anxiety disorders. Diazepam is also used for the treatment of agitation, tremors, delirium, seizures, and hallucinations as a result of alcohol withdrawal. Diazepam is also used for relief of muscle spasms in certain neurological diseases. Diazepam is used to abort active seizures and can be combined with other drugs in treating severe recurrent seizures.
Lorazepam is also used to treat irritable bowel syndrome, epilepsy, insomnia, and nausea and vomiting from cancer treatment and to control agitation caused by alcohol withdrawal. Talk to your doctor about the possible risks of using this drug for your condition.
Each are the same but for some people one can work better with their body chemistry.
Valium is namebrand for Lorazepam. Lorazepam is valium too but with more of one ingredient than the others.Valium and Diazepam did nothing for me but the Lorazepam did. I take it when I feel a migrain coming on.
If you take any of these things they say it will make you more sleepy. antihistamines; digoxin (Lanoxin); levodopa (Larodopa, Sinemet); medications for depression, seizures, pain, Parkinson's disease, asthma, colds, or allergies; muscle relaxants; oral contraceptives; probenecid (Benemid); rifampin (Rifadin); sedatives; sleeping pills; theophylline (Theo-Dur); tranquilizers; valproic acid (Depakene); and vitamins. These medications may add to the drowsiness caused by lorazepam.
However I have taken 2 sleeping pills and a melation with Lorzaepam and still did not sleep. I am an insomanic. It all depends on your body chemistry if things will work with you or not. Xanax makes me hyper instead of calming me down.
