Lorazepam
"Without this I am not quite human, nor quite sane. After my Mom passed with an acute illness I developed a horrible case of insomnia and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). A psych. prescribed this and with it I feel that I can calmly exist and think clear thoughts. Without it I am a tight jumble of nerves, I cannot think straight, am paranoid, mean, physically ill and feel like giving up. I tried to go without it for about 6 weeks and all my symptoms returned to me 10 fold. Taking a few pills a day is a small price to pay for your sanity, the ability to smile again, work, look forward to seeing your family and actively pursuing life. Although I don't recommend this for everyone for a long time, I will probably take it forever. Excellent."
