i have been prescribed with lorazepam for slightly more then 6 months now... it's helpful when I get panic or anxiety attacks because it's fast but short acting, but it doesn't really help me much in the sleep area.. I can go for 4-5 days with no sleep despite taking lorazepam and mirtazapine at night..
to me.. psychiatric drugs reacts differently for everyone.. so what happened to me may not be the same for you.. if current medications doesn't work, tell your doctor and try another one..
I was initially taking fluoxetine (Prozac) every morning but this antidepressant made me even more suicidal.. to the extend that I took one month supply of antidepressants and sleeping pills at one go.. end up almost stop breathing and had to stay in hospital to clean my blood with the antidote..
after that incident my morning antidepressant was changed to vortioxetine (brintellix) which worked much better. but downside is the high cost of it.. at night still need to depend on diazepam to help me sleep.. as I'm typing this now.. it's already my 3rd day without sleep
