I am suffering from severe anxiety and butterfly stomach, can not sleep properly coz of this, taking ativan 2 mg, vizylac and librax, still no relief.

Question

Dear Lybrate user, ativan and librax are not the main treatment of choice for severe anxiety plus these are sedatives which can lead to habit forming. These are only supposed to be taken for a shorter duration .there are other drugs which will help you in overcoming your symptoms of anxiety with much ease and also will not lead to any dependence on medicines. Nothing to worry ,please consult a psychiatrist for a proper management plan.
