HOW TO MANAGE SIDE EFFECTS
Dizziness Or Drowsiness
Managing
drowsiness caused by lorazepam involves several strategies to ensure
safety and comfort. Firstly, it’s essential to avoid activities that
require mental alertness or coordination, such as driving or operating
heavy machinery, while experiencing drowsiness. Getting ample rest and
allowing the body time to adjust to the medication can help alleviate
drowsiness over time. Additionally, avoiding alcohol and other sedating
substances can minimize the sedative effects of lorazepam. If drowsiness
persists or becomes severe, consulting a healthcare professional is
recommended to discuss potential adjustments to the dosage or medication
regimen. It’s important not to abruptly stop taking lorazepam without
medical supervision, as this can lead to withdrawal symptoms. Always
follow the guidance of a healthcare provider when managing side effects
of lorazepam or any other medication.
