I started out taking .5 of the Lorazapam at bedtime. Now it has been upped to 1.0 It has helped me sleep better. It just was getting to the point that needing sleep was outweighing the 'not wanting to take another med'.
I hope your arm continues to do better. I know the Lorazapam can be habit forming, but the doctor explained that given the right dosage and when using for the right reason I didn't have anything to worry about.
Good luck.
