anxiety
"I started taking Lorazepam in November of last year when my dad was ill and dying.  It took the edge of the stress and allowed me to care for him and remain calm. I was taking 2  a day for about a month. Dad passed away in December. I have had anxiety issues most of my life, so I probably should have started this drug a long time ago. I now take 1 or 2 a week after a stressful day at work."
