Why don’t anxiety meds work for me?

Do you suffer insomnia every night or do you have bad nights and better nights? Sometimes the depression, anxiety and insomnia are caused by the medication we take. I would never say stop any that is for you and your Dr. to decide. For me the Clonezepam I am dependent on works some nights well for me to sleep and other nights I am wide awake all night with anxiety. It seems like I have one good night followed by a bad one. Deep breathing lying down for hours and praying is what I have to do often.

I have had insomnia every night since early September. People say you can’t die from insomnia but I don’t know if I believe it. Currently, I am not on any medication as the last combo of Zoloft and Gabapentin was not effective. I can’t begin to tell you how many meds I have been on that made me feel worse. Yesterday morning and today I was forced to take one .5 Ativan as I was having a total breakdown. I don’t want to get “hooked” on the Ativan. All I want is this anxiety to ease up. I think I could learn to live with it unmedicated if it wasn’t so extreme.
