Insomnia
"I take Lorazepam in the 0.5mg dosage about once a week.  It was originally given to me in the ER when I&#039;d had a fast heart rate due to a bad asthma attack.  It helped me sleep in the hospital.  Then I asked that it be prescribed so I could go on a vacation with husband, who snores.  It puts me to sleep faster than he can really get to snoring, and I sleep through the night.  Even if I get up once during the night I go right back to sleep.  Now I take it about once a week, and it also calms any anxiety related racing thoughts that invade my sleep.  I don&#039;t want to take it more than that as I don&#039;t want to form a habit with it.  But it is nice to have that assurance that I&#039;ll get a  good night&#039;s sleep and wake up happy."
