Title: Lorazepam an CH
Post by Globi on Dec 27th, 2015 at 12:33am
Hi All,

By accident i've found that Lorazepam is working for me.  Started with taking it only before going to bed to have a better night sleep. Noticed the difference and changed it to 3 x daily 1mg. This might not work for everybody. Also take in consideration it is an Benzodiazepine so pretty addictive.

Ok Globi...gladda hear yur getting some relief...must say I wanna hear same for lorazepam a YEAR from now...cuz nobody here has reported same. I've taken it for nausea control...sad to say it didn't work very well for that...nor CH....for me anyway.....


Over the years there's been dozens of reports of success with various meds and such.  Shoot...I even snorted cayenne pepper for a while...cuz...well...folks said it worked...and I even thought so too.... it didn't. Keep us informed...please.....

Best

Jon

Hi Jon,

Yes. I know it's a guess what works for whom. But......sometimes you think you might have found the answer.

That is super . . . except for the addictive aspect. I have withdrawn from opioids and that is pretty straightforward. I had to withdraw from benzos which I took only at nighttime for sleep. The weaning process itself took two months, and the neurological withdrawal lasted another two months. It was, hands down, the worst experience of my life. I assume you have tried the standard medications for cluster and those didn't work. But just know once you become physically dependent on benzos, getting off will be tricky.
