How Can Anxiety And Insomnia Be Treated?
I am one of the baby boomer who contacted Hep C from blood transfusion. I went through the treatment of interferon, almost die, and was on oxygen for at least 5 to 6 years. I did get the cure in 2011, and one of my problems is anxiety and insomnia. I experience anxiousness. I have been using Lorazepam 0.5. I was concern of the long time use, and if this isn t that safe, what else is there? I use melatonia & benadril to help me sleep

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! Thanks for question.
Lorazepam only improves your sleep and not your anxiety symptoms. I will suggest you to take either Sertraline or Paroxetine along with Etizolam, which will improve your anxiety symptoms. For sleep you need to take Lorazepam.
Take care
