Like no other benzodiazepine I have tried, and I have tried them all, Lorazepam released some inner demon in me that made extremely angry at everything and everyone. It was like I could not stop myself from raging anger at any tiny perceived slight. I also believe I have been excessively paranoid and suspicious on it.
My pdoc said that sometimes it can release our inhibitions. I pray to god this angry raging person is not me and is my reaction to the medication and coming off the medication. Also, it may be that I am in an extremely depressed state right now. I have a cycling depression and I am severely, severely depressed and those feelings of anger, paranoia, and suspicion seem to surface when I get super low too. However, I remember taking lorazepam before and becoming very angry.
It helps me when I first take it, for a few hours, but after that I am awful and whenever I try to lower the dose I lose it. I am almost off it and hope I can remain vigilant and know it has to go. ...aqua
