Every day I woke up with less emotions less and less emotions so it's like a chemical lobotomy some
People told me to wait until

That sounds very awful what you are going through. I am sorry that you have to endure all this suffering. This life is so unfair. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

I'm sorry you're going through so much and your dad isn't doing well either. It's hard to lose others and to lose ourselves, I'm sorry that meds have destroyed who you were and made your life so hard. I hope you can think through things and decide what you feel is best for yourself. Best wishes whatever you decide to do.

To taper of lorazepam you need to switch to a different benzodiazepine. Usually diazepam. Diazepam has a long half life where lorazepam has a short one. The short half life makes it impossible to taper effectively. If you search the Ashton Manual you'll find lots of praise for this particular taper guide as it's written by someone with an objective approach and lots of experience. I'll provide a link to the manual itself. It's in english but I think you may be able to find it in your native language too.

Lorazepam and benzos in general are horrible to withdraw from without a taper and using them definitely does have the effect of taking away your emotions like you mention. However the good news is you do retuen to normal after you taper off. You'll probably feel it happening along the process of tapering so it's not something you have to wait for until the very end.

As for your seroquel/quetiapin I am afraid I have no info or experience however I do know its possible to taper off in small increments. I know you're feeling the pressure to do it quickly but you can do it relatively quickly in small increments. I actually think it's likely that the symptoms you mwntion regarding your blunted emotions are down to the lorazepam. Possibly more than the quetiapin. It will definitely help to taper off the lorazepam. Of that I'm certain.

If you feel your doctor, psychiatrist or whoever is prescribing your medicines is not doing right by you it's important to raise this concern in writing and send it to the relevant person in your medical systems hierarchy. You should keep it short and simple. Just say that you don't feel your best interests are being met in your treatment and you need to address it by getting a second opinion and you want to get help getting off your meds. You have the right to correct treatment. I know the system is massively flawed but this is the best option for moving forward.

Good luck! Stand your ground but don't get angry or argumentative. Always present calmly and say what you need to say in as few words/sentences as possible. The aim is to appear level headed and not give them anything to interpret incorrectly.
