lonmg term side effects of taking XANAX or LORIZAPAM
thinking of taking either one for |INSOMNIA problem...my trouble is falling asleep - only after 3 AM - anxiety about falling asleep! Am usuallly a calm person, relatively good life, etc healthy children,etc BUT have this anxiety about going to bed and sleeping!
Was told that either XANAX or \LORIZAPAM (spelling?) would good for me.
I have been tkaing lorazapam for a year. I take .05mg. 3x a day. It will help you sleep but it can be addictive and is hard to go off of. I have also tried xanax and had luck with this one also. See your physician and tell them your symptoms. good luck!!

Amatribal,
Thanks for your question.
It's important to speak with your doctor about your symptoms in order to determine which medication would be best for you.
The most common side effects of both Xanax (alprazolam) and Ativan (lorazepam) include sedation and dizziness. Both of these medications can be addictive, so it's important to take the medication the way it's prescribed to you. You can find more information about Xanax here and about Ativan here.
Best of luck,
Casey
