what are the most common side effects of lorazepam - #26333
I am trying to understand what are the most common side effects of lorazepam because I just started taking it last week for anxiety, and honestly, it feels like a bit of a rollercoaster. Like, the first night was kind of nice; I had this weird calmness wash over me, but then the next day I was totally groggy and felt like a zombie. It’s been a struggle to focus on work, and I even missed a meeting because I just didn’t remember! My doctor said that lorazepam is supposed to help, but what are the most common side effects of lorazepam that I should be looking out for? I’ve also noticed a bit of dizziness when I get up too fast or when I bend over, which feels a little alarming. And sometimes I feel a little detached, like I’m not fully “here,” which freaks me out more than I expected. I just want to rule out if I'm overreacting or if they're normal reactions or even if I'm taking it wrong or something? Any thoughts on what are the most common side effects of lorazepam? Thanks a bunch for any insights!
