I certainly can't say if its right or wrong to take them, but if you want an opinion, I'd suggest being VERY careful with them. I say this because I had bad experience with them. Lorazapam was like alcohol in a pill form for me. It was hard not to abuse them for me. I couldn't resist eating them like candy. When I realized what was happening I had to flush them down the toilet and not renew the prescription. I explained to the doctor and he was able to give me something else that didn't have that effect and I've been fine ever since.
