Hi Manic, I'm glad were OK. Thanks for calling me "special". We have somthing in common then. Cause I'm def SPECIAL haha. Any way, I'm going to answer this thread, then the other, K? Here goes: Manic, I'm going to get serious here because this is serious. I had a family member that was addicted big time to Lorazapam. Don't know how much he was taking, none of us did. Something bad happened (not related to his use) and he upped his dose to the point where we had to take care of him in addition to other stuff. We confronted him and he d/c'd Lorazepam in matter of days, maybe week. I was paying his bills one night, and noticed his face was quivering, he was shaking, just looked scary. I called my Doc and she said take him directly to Hospital. They kept him a week, he was in an extreme manic state when he came out, and diagnosed with 2 disorders.
He's now on many meds, that I wonder if he would need had he not abused Lorazapam so badly and d/c'd too quickly. I geuss you know what I'm getting at. One, your Doc IMHO should be starting a taper NOW on the Lorazapam if you are to be off in January!! Please ask him about this now??!!Especially if you're taking more than he knows about, I wasn't clear on that. PLEASE,(if ok with doc) for your own mental safety, make a chart starting where you are now, and when you go into Hospital. Taper evenly from now to then. PLEASE do this Manic. Or I feel you will really wish you did. To quote a "special" person, you most def will be in the sh*t if you don't start taper now. Don't know anything about Cymbalta, Zoloft, or C.B.T. other than mixed results on A/d's and same with C.B.T. I think the C.B.T. couldn't hurt anything as an augment to meds. At least no side effects or w/ds!!!
Going to your other post, as with your dyslexia, I have problem proccesing things quickly some times, mostly since depression hit. I like my answers to be helpful and complete also. So give a little while if you are on board.
