Lorazepam: This is a question you need to ask the physician who evaluated you for your problems. It's both impossible and unfair to "second-guess" the reasons something was prescribed, when we weren't present during your evaluation. We didn't see how you were at that time, and cannot possibly know all the factors your physician noted when prescribing as s/he did.

Anxiety: Symptoms of the anxiety include insomnia, difficulty in concentration, tachycardia, sweating, palpitations, tremors, and fatigue. The most widely prescribed anxiolytics are the benzodiazepines (lorazepam) and their effectiveness in reducing anxiety and inducing sleep. Advil (ibuprofen) pm is NSAID and used as pain and inflammation reliever.
