hi everyone. I have been suffering from anxiety induced insomnia going on five years now often on. I will go for months at a time not been able to sleep at night having to take different types of medications to help sleep. What has helped you? I have been on Lexapro 15 mg since the beginning of December and did really well on it and then about two weeks ago I had a bad night and it has triggered the anxiety again. My doctor suggested going up on 20 mg Lexapro. Does anybody else use this along with anti-anxiety medicines or ambien?
