Prazepam Reviews: What are patients saying about Prazepam?

Prazepam for Chronic Trouble Sleeping
I was first prescribed this medication in 2011 after my colon cancer diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy. At that time, my anxiety levels were very high and I couldn't sleep at night. This medication worked wonders for me; just 1.5mg before bed under the tongue did the trick. It's now 2019 and my doctors have taken me off of the medication, saying it's not good for my bones or brain. I haven't been able to sleep properly since going off of it, and they refuse to put me back on it. So I guess I'm screwed.

Prazepam for Chronic Trouble Sleeping
Lorazepam is the only medication that works for me. I tried Ambien, Trazadone, and Doxepin before, but they didn't work and had terrible side effects. Lorazepam helps me throughout the day and allows me to sleep for seven to eight hours at night with no nightmares. Without it, I can only sleep for a few hours.

Prazepam for Chronic Trouble Sleeping
I was first prescribed this medication in 2011 after my colon cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy. At that time, my anxiety levels were very high and I couldn't sleep at night. This medication worked wonders for me; just 1.5mg before bed under the tongue allowed me to finally get some rest. Fast forward to 2019, my doctors have now taken me off the medication because they say it's not good for my bones or brain, but it's been over a month since I stopped taking it and I still can't sleep properly. They refuse to prescribe it to me again, so I guess I'm screwed.

Prazepam for Chronic Trouble Sleeping
Lorazepam is really the only medication that works for me. I tried Ambien, Trazadone, and Doxepin before, but they didn't work and had awful side effects. Lorazepam helps me feel calm throughout the day and I can sleep easily for 7-8 hours at night. There are no negative side effects that I've experienced, just a sense of calmness if you have anxiety.
