"Are you worrying about the addiction side rather than the benefit of taking say, 1 for 3 consecutive nights so that you get sleep and accepting that maybe for nights 4/5/6 you won't sleep as well?"

Yes, that's what i'm worried about. i have started to take 0.5 to 1 mg Lorazepam along with my AD. Just the AD is not working. My therapist and my husband suggest that i take it for some time to break the sleeplessness cycle and then start reducing it. My doctor says, no don't take it everyday, it will lead to addiction. But i am now taking it as i have no choice. That's the only one that can reduce my heart racing and help me sleep.
