Side Effects of Lorazepam

Lorazepam is a drug which has its own sets of after effects. A number of the after results are usual and some of them are very exceptional. The usual side effects are observed in many users but the exceptional side effects need proper treatment and consultation with the health provider because if they are not properly handled they will produce many serious results.

First of all let’s see the criterion to check any side effects. There is a very simple method. A test is made to check the side effects of any drug. Two groups are selected for this purpose. For a specific time period one set is given the dose and the other is not given. For this time span the experts observes both the groups. The condition of one group, which is given the drug is changed i.e. they show some side effects. The other group does not show any of the side effects. This is the method through which professional test that whether a drug has any after effects or not and if it has then what are they and how they effects the people who use them.

Through these after effects the most common after effects of Lorazepam is sedation. In this side effect the person who is using the drug sense a calming effect. Almost 16 percent of the people using this drug show this side effect. Faintness is another common after effect which is observed in almost 7 percent of the people using this drug. Instability and weakness has been observed in around 4 percent people. There are lots of other side effects of this drug. Natural feeling of exhaustion and sleepiness, tiredness and sense of being tired by doing a little effort, memory loss for short time period (particularly for those actions that have happened in the past), deficiency in deciding and focusing and a natural feeling of disturbance, a sense of puzzlement, effects on vision and hearing problems, ruthless pain in head, nausea, constipation, different sorts of fear (from height and the feeling of the head rotating constantly), effects in sex drive sometimes resulting in dysfunction or may be in impotency, some time hair loss and low slight level of low blood pressure.

Though the common after effects of this drug can be neglected without any serious action but one must consult his or her doctor for the serious after effects such as extreme sadness, suicidal tendencies, breathlessness, allergies, aggression. The doctor, who has advised you to take this medicine, will tell you how to control these after effects. Maybe he will suggest you a new criterion for taking the dose and that’s how you can overcome the after effects of Lorazepam.
