Hi TK,

Lorazepam, as well as the Valium you took are in a category of meds called Benzodiazepine.

I have not taken Lorazepam but I do use Klonopin which is also a Benzo. Klonopin has become a multi-purpose med for me. It does help with spasticity and pain but I found at a high dose (6 mg) it caused leg weakness.

As far as drowsiness (personal experience) -- I react strangely with meds and benzos are no different. I have used Klonopin on a regular basis but I have also taken it only as needed. My reaction each time is always a suprise. Sometimes it makes me tired, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes I feel more alert on it.

Sometimes I am okay to drive after taking Klonopin, sometimes I'm not.

Unfortunately, most medications used to treat spasticity causes drowsiness.
