Question:
Anxiety and Sleep or What?
Lately, I have this problem when I try to go to sleep, I almost get to the point where I will fall asleep and then its like something stops me and I get anxious and I wont go to sleep, just lay there. I was up for 24 hours yesterday before I feel asleep from taking Lorazepam...I actually went to the ER for this. It is driving me crazy and making me irratible. Please if anyone knows what to do, help, please! :o(

Not unusual. Many people experience this. The inability to turn our minds off at night. We deal with life all day long. Then when it is time to relax our minds go into overtime. In fact Ellen DeGeneres does a monologue on this very thing. Speak to your doctor. He/she may prescribe something for you such as Paxil, Zoloft etc.
