Suggest Treatment For Severe Muscle Pain In The Leg While On Lorazepam
I have been known to be very sensitive to any anti anxiety drug. Symptoms are fibromyalgia like. Especially muscle pain in the legs. I have been taken more than usual lorazepam as I felt more anxious. Had forgotten about the strong reaction to anti anxiety meds, but as I am now experiencing that pain in my legs again, I wonder if this medication can do that as well? I don t see this mentioned in any information I can find online......I am 66, and the dosage I was taken was no more than 1 mg a day.

Hello,
There is no evidence-based study that can relate Lorazepam with muscle pain.
Anxiety itself can cause muscle pain. So, I would recommend continuing using Lorazepam to reduce anxiety.
I also recommend using a magnesium supplement to help with muscle contraction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
