Does lorazepam help with pain?
My relative suggested Lorazepam for my chronic back pain, saying it helps with muscle relaxation. I know it's mainly for anxiety, but does Lorazepam also have any effect on pain relief? Should I ask my doctor about it?

Lorazepam is not a direct painkiller, it is an anti-anxiety medicine. However, it can help relax tense muscles and calm your mind, which sometimes reduces the perception of pain.

For mild aches, a warm compress or haldi doodh works very well. But Lorazepam is a strong medicine and should not be used as a painkiller unless a doctor has specifically prescribed it for you.

I totally get it, dealing with chronic pain is exhausting and you just want relief. Lorazepam helps more with the anxiety and muscle tension that comes with pain, rather than blocking the pain itself.

It doesn't directly stop pain like a paracetamol does, but it definitely relaxes your muscles and helps you rest! 🌸 If you are in severe pain, better to ask your doctor for a proper pain reliever.

Don't take Lorazepam for pain just because someone online said so. It is a highly habit-forming prescription drug. Always verify with your doctor first before taking such medications.

No, it's not a painkiller. It only calms your brain and muscles. Don't use it to treat normal physical pain, go see a doctor for the right medicine.
