You'll take an anti-anxiety medicine containing benzodiazepine to address insomnia. You have to take it for only a short term to avoid being dependent on the pill. Benzodiazepine, or benzos, increases a neurotransmitter called GABA and suppresses neuronal activity and stressful feelings. However, taking a benzo reduces the natural production of GABA, making tapering off the medication difficult. The long-term medication ends up worsening your symptoms, causing aggressiveness and judgment ability to decline, as well as increasing the risk of dementia.

Unfortunately, the medication for a week every month isn't acceptable. The shorter, the better. The most extended duration should be within one week in the case of daily administration. Even short-term use of Klonopin, as little as one month, can cause physical dependence and withdrawal. Otherwise, as one medication dosage, the dose limits should be at most two times a week.

No, you won't. Just keep in mind several cautions. While taking the medication, don't drive a car because of side effects such as sleepiness, reflex decline, loss of concentration, etc. Don't drink alcohol, which amplifies the medicine to work. Anyway, regardless of the medication or your condition, there is nothing better than not taking alcoholic drinks, as well as smoking and taking drugs.
