This is a public forum to discuss things....she has every right to post what she did. She definitely needs to talk to her doctor about getting an anxiety medication. Problem is...is that doctors don't like to prescribe the anxiety meds that truly work...like diazepam and lorazepam.

i agree

Thank you for supporting me. I will ask my Dr. if he is willing to prescribe one of those meds you mention. I will let you know if he does. Be well.

@cindisue however - diazepam and lorazepam are both addicting and lorazepam is intended for short-term use - like 2-3 weeks. I was on it for about 6 weeks, with a 5-day break in the middle - and now i have to taper off. Went from .5 or 1 mg nightly, to 2 nights of .5mg then a night without anything and last night .5mg, tonight, nothing, and so on; next week, 2 nights in-between and then done.
And, i've taken sleep meds for 15 years, so it was very difficult to sleep without anything - but, for the better in the long run, IMHO.
Please be sure to research meds, don't just "trust" your doctor.
