How Can Insomnia Along With Anxiety Be Treated?

I have been insomnia since November. It started due to a lot of anxiety I was having at the time. Now it is months later and I am still experiencing it. I don t have trouble falling asleep, I have trouble staying asleep. For the most part, the anxiety is no longer there. Any advice you could offer would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Hello! Welcome to HealthcareMagic!

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Presently, your suffering with generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) with associated sleep disturbances. I recommend you to start an Anxiolytic preferably an SSRI. Along with a Benzodiazepine for overcoming sleep disturbances. I also recommend you to start practicing stress management techniques such as:

1) Regular physical exercise in the morning.
2) Healthy lifestyle modifications.
3) Relaxation techniques like mindfulness and meditation.

Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagawan Rajana, Psychiatrist
