Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

I get it. I believe you 100%. I have had sleep issues since I was 15 and I am 78. It's rare that I am tired or fatigued. The only thing that works is Ativan before bedtime.

My heart is pounding as it’s already 7pm. I sit in the living room until midnight when my husband usually tries to go to sleep. My insomnia affects him, too. I then try to go to the bedroom but as soon as I lay my head down on the pillow, my blood pressure rises and my heart beats even faster. Last night I got out of bed and just sat in the recliner all night watching utube.

I had been taking Ativan for a long time and it basically stopped working for me. Sometimes I think the pharmaceutical companies “forget” to put the active ingredients in the pills. I am feeling terrible this morning and don’t know what to do. In December, I had convinced myself that I was addicted to Ativan and against my husband’s advice I spent a fortune at a detox center. Well, I was not addicted to it at all. But I am reluctant to take a pill now even though my heart is pounding wildly as sometimes I feel worse from the Ativan. I feel like screaming but what will that do to help me?
