Lorazepam side effects

i have been on Lorazepam for almost 7 months now- I've been weaning off for 3 months. i just want to warn everybody and anybody how physically addicting these pills are. not in the sense where u want to abuse them, but in the sense when it wears off your body goes through wicked withdrawal. It also can cause more anxiety! it causes memory loss, mood swings, depression, ADDICTION, extreme fatigue, headaches, feeling like your in a dream, light headedness... and it goes on from there. Never let a doctor say its ok to take this on a daily basis. this medication should only be taken as needed, for example: only when a panic attack is coming on or happening.
I feel very strongly about this subject because many people, including myself, are misinformed. i have been going through hell being on this medication AND its even worse trying to get off of it.

I take 6mg-8mg to sleep at night. Now I heard that memory loss can be a side effect. Does anyone know about that? My head feels very full and thick at times, which i think is a side effect of a different drug I'm on (geodon), but has anyone experienced that? I'm on five drugs and i'm trying to sort out which side effect is from which drug... need help

tired, energy drained, weakness, confusion

Insomnia, confusion, tiredness, depression

the doctor has ordered me to take 1 tablet ever 4 hours and 2 kat bed time, i generally take 1 daily and 1 atbed intsead which has been freat; but last night i became very dizzy and still the next morning I'm dizzy to the point I'm leaning. My head is a fuzz. Does this cause these affects since i had stomach bypass i dont take the general dose every onf any drug and I'm not on any other meds.

I've been feeling confused,and very depressed,can this medication cause this problem?
