For Insomnia "I have bad anxiety and am severely depressed and have bad insomnia. Doctor prescribed me Ativan. I took one at night to help me sleep. It helped me sleep all night. Woke up, had a coffee, then promptly fell asleep again, had lunch at 11:30, was up for an hour and a half. I then promptly fell asleep again the whole afternoon. That is the one and only time I took one. I told my GP I was prescribed this and told him I am not taking any more as all I do is sleep. I do not know what is worse, insomnia or sleeping all the time. He then told me to keep taking it, what did he not understand? So I am not taking it anymore and will just deal with it on my own with no pills."

For Nausea/Vomiting "I take this for breakthrough nausea when I have chemo. Though it can make me sleepy, which isn't always welcome, I'm very glad to have a non-constipating alternative to Zofran (also for nausea)."

For Anxiety "I suffer from anxiety and depression and was prescribed 0.05 mg. Unfortunately for me, it made me very depressed and very sleepy. Not suicidal, but just horribly sad and self-loathing."

For Anxiety "Unfortunately, this did nothing for me. It didn't matter how many I took, it didn't do anything for my panic attacks. It just made me a little sleepy."
