Only take .25 mg of Ativan.
Doesn’t appear to help much

Hi, I take Lorazepam now. Was on Ambien (for sleep) and Diazepam--valium (for anxiety) but when I wanted to stop taking the Ambien, I tried multiple different sleep meds and nothing worked. So my doctor finally said, why don't we prescribe you 1 medication that will help both my issues (sleep and anxiety). I said that would be great! So that's when I stopped the Ambien and Diazepam and started taking Lorazepam. Lorazepam is great for sleep and anxiety issues. And most doctors do not like to prescribe benzodiazepines meds, but since your doctor already has you on Klonopin, you should be able to quit the Ambien and the Klonopin and just take Lorazepam. I'm prescribed 1.5mg per day. And usually use the whole amount at night (1mg at bedtime and .5 when I wake up in the middle of night to go to bathroom). But if I need it during the day, I take what I need during day (either .5mg or sometimes 1mg) and use the rest at night. Maybe your doctor would give you 2mg per day for both issues, since you are currently taking Klonopin for anxiety. Good luck!
