A member asked:
What would be the safest benzo for situational anxiety or stress from work to help sleep and what would the dosage normally start out at
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not at first: I wouldn't recommend a benzo before exploring what the problem is, and why sleep is disturbed. Supportive or other talk therapy might be started, with melatonin or perhaps an herbal relaxant to help sleep to begin with. If using a benzo, Lorazepam is safe if used as prescribed -- perhaps .5mg twice daily, and titrated as needed. If sleep is the primary need, it wouldn't be my 1st choice.
