:My name is Kay and I live in West Yorkshire in the North of England. I have been off lorazepam/Ativan for the last sixteen months. I am suffering serious withdrawl symptoms including tinnitus burning sensations on the flesh, it often feels like my skin is being pulled head to toe. The nerves on my flesh are very sensitive and feel that they are moving all the time.My thuought processes at time race and I will often feel very depressed. I also get stabbing pains from head to toe and my skin is very itchy. These are the symptoms that are bad at the moment. I am interested in talking both on and off the net to people who have been or are going through the same sort of experiences. I was on this drug for 15 years. I am a 41 year old woman who is married. I have two children
