It lowers blood sugar by helping to restore your body's proper response to insulin. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

seems to have worked for my depression, but I'm going to stop taking it because of the weight gain. Only three pounds so far, but I want to nip it in the bud.
Constant weight gain - always hungry. Also fatigue and needed a lot of naps, caused me to snore excessively at night.
This drug has some serious warnings, and Dr's should be aware of them before prescribing this drug. Wish I had read them before I took it. I'd rather have my sore throat back, than deal with this shoulder, back and leg pain. It's horrible, can't sleep or relax at all,
Irregular heartbeats usually occur shortly after taking pill and when at rest, frequent urination and weight gain.
Dose varied from 25mg a day to 100mg a day over those years. Effects varied by dose. Positional hypotension and insomnia at higher doses.
Severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea, bloating, swelling in feet and hands, shortness of breath, I will never take this again!

Dont feel like myself. No desire to eat,now i just want to barrel through work, go straight home and hide under my covers in bed. (which is impossible. I have two small children) Although i get relief from the discomfort of constant severe anxiety, im now terrified being without my meds. Ive ran out 3 times thinking i could be fine. WRONG. the withdrawls are worse than the anxiety and are far more severe. I become dizzy, weakness in arms and legs, tunnel vision, panic attacks that last longer and are HELL, cant sleep because of anxiety, vivid crazy nightmares! I get more anxiety when im running low because i dread what happens when i run out. Because im waiting for my insurance plan to freaking start, i've been to the ER three times for refills this last month 1/2! I never imagined i could be this dependant on medication. The E.R sure likes to send you home with them then expect you to just, BAM! stop taking them knowing how addictive they are, then they question you about why you're back for a refill. It makes no sense! Hello! Yes, im back because i think im dying and ativan is what takes the horrible withdrawls away. Duh! WELL I GUESS I AM AN ADDICT THEN. I need Ativan to literally function and go to work now. Benzo's are the worst to ween off of. And stopping cold turkey could cause seizures.
