I was given Lorazapam for anxiety attacks several years ago. I took them only as needed and did not suffer any side affects or withdrawal as I didn't take them everyday. meds are tricky, some are deffinately not to be messed with and are highly addictive especially if used over extended periods of time. I also don't feel that a school nurse should be handing these meds out.
Here is a link to Drugs.com and it lists a lot of good information about this drug. Worth looking at!!

Deffinately PLEASE see a doctor. Knowledge is power and your health is best left to good, well educated professionals who know about meds and risks of taking them.
Best wishes, hope you can sleep.
