| Subject: | Anxiety Medication |
If anxiety is preventing you from falling asleep, an anti-anxiety drug such as lorazepam, is good for treating that anxiety and allowing you to fall asleep. If you are having difficulty staying asleep, sometimes a sleeping medication such as Ambien can get you to sleep and keep you asleep. Review the type of insomnia you are having with your physician. If lorazepam is working, there is no reason to change it.
