"for my sleep anxiety depression i have been on many different benzos there are different compounds in the benzo family the ones i&#039;ve tried at least one in every compound the ones i&#039;ve tried; ativan, clonazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, valium, triazolam, and even midazolam which is used in iv sedation all which have done nothing i have severe troubles staying asleep through the night. even on first night of all listed above no improvement i woke up every hour to hour and a half. and people say midazolam puts them out not me. but i got xanax and wow what a difference it&#039;s made so far instead of waking up every hr on the hr out of 8 hrs gone to waking up only 1-2 times. my dr prescribed 1-2mg at bedtime been on only .5mg for 3 days but wow"
