How can anxiety and insomnia be treated?
human
I am one of the baby boomer who contacted Hep C from blood transfusion. I went through the treatment of interferon, almost die, and was on oxygen for at least 5 to 6 years. I did get the cure in 2011, and one of my problems is anxiety and insomnia. I experience anxiousness. I have been using Lorazepam 0.5. I was concern of the long time use, and if this isn t that safe, what else is there? I use melatonia & benadril to help me sleep

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic! Thanks for question.   Lorazepam only improves your sleep and not your anxiety symptoms. I will suggest you to take either Sertraline or Paroxetine along with Etizolam, which will improve your anxiety symptoms. For sleep you need to take Lorazepam.  Take care Regards, Dr. Gauttam Prajapati, Psychiatrist
