Experiencing Nausea After Taking Lorazepam
I am a 32-year-old male, standing 5'4" and weighing around 150 pounds, leading a generally healthy lifestyle without any smoking or drug consumption. Recently, I took two lorazepam tablets on an empty stomach prior to a dental treatment. Shortly after, I started to feel disoriented, and within an hour, I began to vomit. Now, twelve hours later, I still feel quite ill. Although I am less dizzy, the vomiting persists; I estimate that I have regained my stomach contents about 8 to 10 times since. I can’t recall the exact dosage of the pills, but going to obtain more will likely result in an additional expense for me. It's disheartening to have broken a 24-year record of not throwing up. 😔 *Note: When posting, please ensure you include your age at a minimum.

Confusing Health Concerns and New Medications
At 19 years old and identifying as FTM (female-to-male), I've been administering subcutaneous testosterone injections for a year now, initially starting with 0.25 ml and recently increasing to 0.3 ml over the last three weeks. Prior to this treatment, I had a history of complex health issues. Just yesterday, I began a new medication, Cymbalta, at a dosage of 40 mg. Additionally, I've been taking an 18 mg dose of another medication. Despite my ongoing treatments, I’m finding it challenging to connect the various symptoms I’m experiencing to any specific health conditions.
