"lorazepam was an answer to my severe insomnia prayer. i&#039;ve been taking it for a couple of years now and only had to stop when i was pregnant. it really works for insomnia. i take it about 45 minutes before bed and fall asleep and stay asleep. i do not feel groggy in the morning or sleepy during the day. nothing else has worked for me. i have no side effects from it, that i know of. talk to your doctor about it if your insomnia hasn&#039;t been helped by other medicines/therapies and you need relief."
