Lowered Immune System

Also, I noticed months ago that if I were to take Lorazepam daily for several days I was certain to get a sore throat. I take it sparingly now but I am suspicious that these drugs are lowering my immune system.
I love the amazing support and information sharing of this site. I don't know what I'd have done if this group were not here.

Hi Sleepyhead,
I can relate to the "run down" feeling - it lasted for months!
I never got physically ill, but others have mentioned it.
Be sure that you are getting plenty of rest - and sleep when you feel like it! This is the time to be good to yourself and remember to drink lots of water.
I hope that you feel better soon.

Hi Sleepyhead
Stress always lowers the immune system and I can't think of anything more stressful than a protracted withdrawal. Lack of sleep, digestive problems and other issues would contribute as well.
