I’ve been taking Ativan for years start 1mg then two for anxiety and sleep. I start forgetting and saying things over again can’t think. I look at the side effect and it include memory and forgetful so I tried to stop taking it but the problem is I’m not sleeping. It’s been 4 days without sleep and I don’t know what to take so I can sleep. Is anyone have this problem? Cila

Anxiety is a sure sleep stopper. perhaps you can find a meditation class to help with anxiety?
For help with sleep, you can try 5 HTP supplement, Tryptophan or Melatonin. Check with your doctor first. However, please don't take these supplements while taking Ativan or mix the supplements up. I take them now and then and they are somewhat effective. Wish you success. Blessings
