Specializes in Psychiatry

Anxiety ; Insomnia: Anxiety and insomnia often travel together in the same person. Anxiety can be so ongoing and intense it prevents sleep. Of course, lack of sleep then makes you feel worse. I see that you're on alprazolam, but am not sure how you're taking it or whether you're working with a psychiatrist or psychologist on your anxiety. These would be important parts of your treatment.
