I, too, take something for anxiety but I think it's a weaker drug. Yet, lorazepam, too can probably be addicting if taken every day for a long period of time. What I do to try to avoid the addiction is not to take it every day. I've had a lot of anxiety lately and sleep problems, too, so I've been taking a whole one almost every day. I'm going to cut down to a half of one and then not take it every day.

Exercise has also helped me in the past to relieve anxiety. Sometimes a good brisk walk will help. Talking to someone and explaining my difficulties helps, too.

I'm sorry to hear about your mother and I hope you will see her soon. I, too, have been harrassed. Maybe if you tell someone at work then something will be done about him. I told a supervisor about a man who screamed at me and came at me once and he talked to him immediately. Unfortunately, I was afraid to work there any more and I quit. Good luck to you in all regards. I'm glad you are getting some relief from the Xanax now.
