Insomnia, Anxiety: I understand your worry about, “my doctor ceasing to prescribe-Seconal” Seconal is used short-term to treat insomnia. Its side effects may be- insomnia nightmares, nervousness, anxiety and abnormal thinking. Trust your body that you have had sleep since birth. Stress in life affects sleep.

No, don't worry: Talk w/ the Dr about your concerns. This may be a good chance to find a safer nd better alternative if needed and you might be able to continue your favorite if really necessary. Definitely, don't worry. That will not help at all. Try good therapy targeted for sleep issues too.
