How To Get Rid Of Anxiety And Depression?
Hello, I'm a 25 year old male with anxiety and depression issues that are under control with the aid of prozac and abilify. I'm nervous about a presentation tomorrow as well as an upcoming trip, and as a result cannot sleep. I also can't stop thinking about it. Will advil help me sleep or help calm my anxiety?

Hello,
Looks like a temporary stressor. I think a sedative will help you enough for short term.
Zolpidem 12.5mg should be enough. It usually gives 6-7 hours of undisturbed and dreamless sleep and the mind is fresh after waking up.
You may try this after discussing it with your doctor.
Take it for the stressful time and then stop.
Wish you good luck
