Q1. I have difficulty in falling asleep and the doctor has recommended lonazep 0.25 mg once every night before bedtime. I have read that lonazep contains clonazepam which is used to reduce anxiety and calm down nerves. Besides, I have learned that lonazep 0.50 mg can induce sleep and is often used as a sleeping aid. So, my question is that 0.25 mg (which has been prescribed to me) being a very light dose, is it sufficient enough to be considered as a sleeping pill though it contains less concentration of clonazepam as compared to 0.50 mg tablet? Does 0.25 mg lonazep tablet having much less sleeping chemical, does it contain sufficient chemicals to be termed as the sleeping pill just as a 0.50 mg tablet? Please elaborate q2. My father had anxiety and stress related problems. He used to feel pressure in his head. And he used to stay awake till late night for office work and this cycle continued. His metabolism and bio cycles have been affected as his body clock is shifted. The normal way the body works has been hampered. Now he says that he cannot sleep even he feels sleepy asif that inbuilt mechanism of thr brain to switch off during relaxation, which is supposed to be automatic is not working. The doctor has recommended anxit 0.25 mg tablet once every night. Is it a sleeping pill like lonazep?
