Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms.
Ativan, xanax and valium are all
benzodiazepine group of drugs. These medications cause hang-over feeling the next day. Moreover, there is a risk of dependence and addiction, if used for long.
So, it is better to avoid valium (
diazepam).
You can use
zolpidem for treating
insomnia. This would leave you fresh in the mornings and there is no risk of dependence.
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
