Experiencing Nausea After Lorazepam Use
I'm a 32-year-old male, standing at 5'4" and weighing around 150 pounds. Generally, I maintain a good level of health and don’t consume any drugs or alcohol. Recently, I took two lorazepam tablets on an empty stomach prior to a dental appointment, which led to an immediate feeling of disorientation and nausea. Within an hour, I started to vomit, and even after 12 hours, I still felt unwell. Although the disorientation has lessened, the vomiting hasn’t ceased; I’ve likely been sick about 8 to 10 times now. I can’t recall exactly how many pills I took, but getting more would involve another costly visit. This has broken my streak of 24 years without vomiting, which is quite disappointing. 😔
