How Can Severe Insomnia And Anxiety Be Treated?

I was diagnosed with severe sleeping disorder, anxiety disorder, ptsd, agoraphobia. 15 years later and several medications later - still not functioning at the level I would like. I had two sleep tests - no sleep apnea. So tired of being exhausted and anxious. I want my life back.

you should be started with medicine like zolpidem
,zolpidem is a hypnotic and induces sleep
it is a very safe drug and safety index is much higher then benzodiazepenes .Lack of good sleeep is responsible for your letharge and tiredness feeling .
you could ask a physcian to prescribe you with zolpidem for few weeks.
