How Lorazepam or Benzodiazepine Use Leads to Addiction
You’ve been following doctor’s orders to take 1 mg of Lorazepam or Ativan and 6 months or a year later you’re depressed. The psych or MD writes you a script for ant-depressants and you feel worse. The doctor claims it’s normal to need pharmaceuticals.
You’re starting to get shaky, anxious and nervy if you don’t take Ativan or lorazepam, even if you miss taking it by 1/2 day. You may or may not feel fine when your on it but, you may break out into cold sweats without. You don’t like it, but you realize you’re addicted to lorazepam. You’re doctor didn’t even warn you lorazepam could ruin your life.
You get the distinct idea that you’ve been hooked onto drugs by your own doctor! You’re mad and want to sue. The doctor tells you to just stop taking your meds or to reduce them and see how you do. You become more anxious, can’t sleep and begin to sweat and shake. You think your going through a flu or a horrible panic attack.
You’re doctor tells you that your adverse reactions to stopping or detoxing from Lorazepam or benzodiazepines confirms you have a chemical imbalance and you really needed to be on the drugs. He raises the dose and the tremors cease, but you still feel awful and have poor concentration.
What do you do?
Do you admit you’ve got a dependency to Lorazepam or anti-depressants, maybe you’re even addicted to benzos? The longer you take pharmaceuticals the worse off you’re getting. Soon you don’t or can’t function well and you don’t look at all well. So you stop going out, people and social situations make you nervous anyway.
What’s happening to you?
Fact: You’re doctor has gotten you addicted or dependent onto benzodiazepine drugs. If the MD or psych put you onto Lorazepam, you’re taking one of the most potentially addictive psychotropic drugs on the market. Some say worse than heroin, as heroin withdrawals only last a maximum of 10 days and are usually over in 4 days.
Why Benzodiazepine withdrawals seem to come back for months and months
Lorazepam detox is not a well understood detoxification process by most MDs, detox center hospitals and addictions doctors; they may mess up a Lorazepam detox. The problem with detoxing from Lorazepam is that the damage or toxic reactions of the drugs on the nerve cells tend to make the nerves hypersensitive to stimulation, any stimulation.
The consequence of being stimulated chronically by the after effects of Lorazepam or other benzodiazepines is that you’re stress reactions eventually burn out all your reserves of nutrients and energy. You become a wreck.
Is there really something wrong with you? Has the pharmaceutical changed you physically or mentally?
No, not in the way you think. But there is something very wrong with your physical health and Lorazepam or anti-depressants are making it worse, actually these drugs are so toxic I could say they are causing your sick or chaotic condition. Understand that western medicine only treats symptoms therefore you’ve not been properly treated in the first place taking benzodiazepine prescriptions.
Well you could sue your doctor.
But what about you, what about your health? Your kids, spouse and family need you well. You need to get back on your feet and be functioning, especially in these chaotic economical times.
Treatment for Addiction to Lorazepam
Lorazepam addiction treatment should focus on detoxification, healthy rehabilitation and massive nutritional support to correct physical damage of lorazepam dependency and toxicity.
Emotional and mental support helps while detoxing from Lorazepam. Mostly this should be in the form of empathetic therapies and using techniques and strategies to expertly ease through the anxiety or panic. Reassurance and holistic support is often the best remedy, but read on. There are many key things to look for in a truly expert and effective holistic detox program.
Warning: You’ll notice that the focus is not medical intervention and pharmaceutical therapies such as more drugs followed up with reassurance your stresses will be relieved by more pharmaceuticals. That’s how you got into detox in the first place. You believed drugs would cure everything. This is backward planning, yet it’s a common lorazepam detox method in traditional detox / hospital centers. Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is the best way out.
Traditional detox = more different drugs; don’t be so fooled.
Holistic Lorazepam Detox is Different
A holistic detox from Lorazepam should focus on correcting neurotransmitter and hormone level balances at the root of the issue: a holistic detox should build you up nutritionally so that detox naturally is supported and eased. Expertly administered holistic detox is very smooth compared to any drug based detox delivered through medical centers.
Holistic lorazepam detox uses medications as needed but the detox should not be based on more drugs. Detoxing holistically means the bulk of the effort and attention is given to improving your health and well being nutritionally. Holistic detox should include nutrient dense IVs, amino acids, natural medicine, hydration, anti-oxidants, chelation, vitamins and minerals and many other holistic medicines as the foundation of recovery.
Many people report that they experienced no withdrawal effects which amounted to anything that hadn’t already gone through while taking the drugs; ie their health improved daily and weekly. At worst they felt only as bad as they already felt while taking the drugs and usually that experience was very short lasting.
Most people holistically detoxing from benzos and lorazepam improve in health, well being, emotional stability every couple of days. The rehab process can take weeks as benzodiazepines are more toxic or damaging than any doctor prescribing them has ever let on. Benzos like Ativan and Lorazepam will create internally damaging nerves which get hyper stimulated by everything in their vicinity. It’s like an uncovered wound. Anything can set reactions off.
