Experience with Lorazepam?
Hi guys,
One year ago i started a new job that requires me to travel once every 3 or 4 months. I absolutely loved it, until i had a really bad panic attack during my second trip. Since that trip, ive had 3 more panic attacks, always during work trips. Always in the evening/at night.
I have a busy day, go to my hotel room, and in bed I start getting anxious, which then leads to a full blown panic attack. Hyperventilating, vomiting, feeling a need to escape, you know the deal.
I discussed this with my therapist and we worked on preventing overstimulation during these trips. My doctor then prescribed lorazepam for when i need it.
Ive had lorazepam before, 10 years ago, but I dont remember the effect it had very well.
So... i have now got another trip coming up (just 1 night away from home) and im already starting to feel anxious that the lorazepam wont work. Wont do anything. That i will panic again, but I also dont want to cancel the trip. I dont want to let panic win.
Could you please share you experiences with Lorazepam? I need to start believing it will do something.
Thanks in advance ❤️
