Please be wary of making recommendations to others! Everyone is different! I know people on trazadone who swear by it.
Lorazepam is a benzodiazepine and is addictive. Wreaks havoc with central nervous system. There are safer drugs out there. Need to find a reputable doctor who’s experienced in sleep medicine.
Best wishes to all! I’m thrilled that I’ve found something that works gof me that all of my doctors are comfortable with.

Isn't that partly what this discussion/forum is for??? To discuss our experiences with certain medications?? Everyone is an adult and can make their own decisions. Plus they need to discuss with their doctor before getting any medication. Yada, Yada, Yada.....I know lots of people are against benzos...but the fact is THEY WORK!! And I'm on a very low dose.....I will defend this medication forever....because it's the only one that truly works, and with NO SIDE EFFECTS! Can't say that about lots of other meds! And other meds have serious side effects....not lorazepam. You are just repeating what you've heard and what the doctors say....I'm trying to get the message out there that a low dose of a benzo is not the evil bad medication that it's made out to be!
kawanhee....What do you take that works?
kawanhee... and one more thing....you say lorazepam wreaks havoc on your nervous system. NO, it helps quiet down an over-active nervous system! So it's actually helping my nervous system.
