Its a depressant in that its supposed to reduce high anxiety , high emotion and have a calming effect!. In reality it will make you sleepy and mellow!. Don't drive or do brain surgery!. Enjoy!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your dosage (!.5) is the weakest you can get (aside from cutting it in half)!. It is a mild anti-anxiety and will help you relax so you can fall asleep and stay asleep longer!. It is not a sleeping pill and will not drug you up for hours, but will make you groggy!. It is an addictive drug so the more often you take it, the more you need to do the job!. Should you decide to continue taking it, be sure to only use it on days you truly need it, and never take it in conjunction with other drugs that cause drowsiness (other sleep aids, cold remedies, etc) unless under the direction of your doctor, and always check w/your pharmacist on any conflicts when you fill new prescriptions!. Try eating a small snack before bed w/milk (cheese or peanut butter crackers are a good combo)!. The natural triptophane in the milk may be enough for most nights!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

the generic name for it is lorazepam and i've taken a lot of strong prescription sleeping pills and lorazepam is really weak ( i'd take 2 mg tablet and have to take around 6 tablets to get sleepy)!. it's equivalent to using a weak sedative like valium just not strong at all!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

!.5 mg is really, really, weak!. If you stay awake, you won't feel anything at all!. It WILL help you to fall asleep and sleep better, though, if you have a problem with that!. You'll need less sleep and wake up feeling really refreshed and energetic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
