Please see a psychiatrist for the account problem. And yes, lorel has some serious side effects like memory loss and it is habit forming.
Your friend needs to be started on something for his anxiety in particular. Only lorel will not help. For more information, feel free to chat

Hi Sir
Thanks for seeking help here.
Lora is an anxiolytic. I suggest you to taper to half dose and stop, if you wish to stop.
Start regular exercise, yoga and JPMR from YouTube for anxiety.
Any further clarification or help in diagnosis and treatment rationalization please feel free to contact us in Practo.
Happy to Help you
