Hi Dr. Nagler,
I am moving to the UK soon. I have been on Lorazepam, just .5mg daily for 4 weeks now. It has helped me sleep, reduced the perception of my t sounds, and kept the reactive part of my t that competes with certain environmental sounds more evened out. Without it, I will be a basket case. It has also helped keep my blood pressure normal, when a little high before.
My ENT out here prescribes it for me on an ongoing basis. But I know protracted use of this is more difficult in the UK.
Can you recommend any doctor to speak to in the UK who may be sympathetic to a longer term usage with t? I have had t for 5 months now. I would like to stabilize the first year before I think of weaning off the drug.
Thanks so much, Dr. Nagler.
