anxiety
"I started taking Xanax after the suicide of my son.  I was on it for quite a while but it didn't work so well after a while and I was not sleeping.  So I was put on Lorazepam.  2mg twice a day only I take them both at night with a 50mg amitrypline.  If I don't knock myself completely out I have horrible night terrors and nightmares.  I have been on this dose for about 2 years now.  How can I get out of this?  Whereas time has by no means made it "easier to deal with" I know I will need to be on something for sleep but an now worried about the long term affects.  I am also worried about it showing up on drugs tests."
