Intermediate-acting benzodiazepine used for anxiety and insomnia. Sometimes prescribed off-label in Long COVID to manage severe anxiety, panic attacks or dysautonomia, but must be used cautiously due to dependence risk.

I forgot to add if you’ve already developed dependence on lorazepam, make sure to taper off of it very slowly, that way your body can adjust smoothly.

It’s an addictive substance so only use for emergency panic attacks, like once or twice a month at most. They can really reduce the stress on your nervous system and anxiety for several hours, but again only use for emergencies because withdrawals are brutal, and dependence can cause worse symptoms.
