+--- Thread: Diazepam or Lorazepam? (/showthread.php?tid=4842)
RE: Diazepam or Lorazepam? - Lavender - 09-03-2019
Klonopin will always be my preferred benzo. It lasts the longest and keeps my anxiety/panic disorder stable. I've been taking it since '06. Lorazepam is my second option (doesn't last as long, unfortunately). Diazepam does absolutely NOTHING for my anxiety, it just makes me go to sleep.

I prefer Loraz over Diaz. Loraz seems to last longer and is more effective especially with sleep. My Dr. prescribes Diaz when you have a pulled muscle or pinched nerve. I'm told that Diaz has a relaxing effect on the skeletal muscular system. For anxiety and insomnia, loraz works best tor me.

My preference is for the longer acting Dover Lor but it is a case of individuals taste ime

Well lorazepam is much stronger than diazepam so if you were to change you would have to take that into account but if you were trying to wean off benzos diazepam is perfect because of their long half life. It can be a miracle worker in that respect.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a product that reduced anxiety and increased energy? That's been a problem I have found myself. Sure I can reduce anxiety, but there is always a cost and that is being sleepy.
However the best product I have found thus far is lorazepam (At!van). I can work, focus and not become overwhelmed with anxiety, which helps me live a more productive life.

As far as cutting back I use diazepam as it still help me to control anxiety but the half life isn't too short and if I take it right before bed it generally helps with sleep and cuts anxiety throughout the whole next day. Lorazepam doesn't have the lasting effects s it once did anymore.

Agreed - that would be an amazing medication! In terms of performance at work, I find bromazepam the best for damping anxiety but leaving me reasonably clear-headed.
However I'm generally on diazepam, so a bit less sharp than normal. If I need to be super efficient I will take a low dose of modafinil - but since it can make me anxious, I always make sure I have a spare diazepam with me. This is not something I do often, maybe every month or two.
After lots of reading about the long-term effects of benzos on cognition, I've started taking turmeric every day which should minimise some of the long-term problems (e.g. with memory).
Is anyone else using turmeric with benzos?

I personally would prefer Dan since they relax the skeletal muscles, whereas lorazepam does not. Plus, it’s a longer acting than x@n@x. Plus it gives me a weird taste in my mouth, I can’t explain it.
