I've been taking lorazepam and avoiding withdrawal by taking 1.5 mg 3 times a week. And taking 5 day - 1 week break in between dosages every month or so.
Recently I moved into a place without air conditioning for the first time.
But lately there has been a heat wave where I live for the last week and because I am so used air conditioning (I guess I'm sheltered ha ha) I find it almost impossible to fall asleep without lorazepam.
I was alternating between lorazepam 1.5 mg and zopiclone 3.75 to 7.5 mg for a bit but I am just gonna take the Lorazepam.
I am at a point where I take lorazpeam 4 times a week somes now and the nights I don't take it the heat is killer.
Wednesday morning I woke up with free floating anxiety and tension and I was worried it was withdrawal. It dissipated by the end of the day.
I took 1.5 mg lorazepam last night.
So my dosage for the last week from the best of my memory since I am not keeping a list is:
July 25 Monday: 1 mg lorazpeam
July 26 Tuesday: 10.25 mg zopiclone
July 27 Wed: Nothing
Thursday: nothing
Friday: 1.5 mg lorazepam
Saturday: 1.5 mg lorazepam
Sunday: 7.5 mg zopiclone
Monday: 1.5 mg lorazepam
Tuesday: nothing
Wednesday: 1.5 mg of lorazpeam.
That's the last 10 days to the best of my memory
Before last Friday I had taken about a 6 day break from lorazpeam but was taking Zopiclone 3 days a week.
I plan on taking it 2 more times MAXIMUM before this heatwave passes and then taking a 2 1/2 month break.
I just hope I can avoid withdrawal.
