it's interesting to me that people worry about benzo dependency but almost never mention AD dependency. if you have found a med that works well for you (ativan) and only used it prn, then I honestly don't see a problem taking it short-term for your current stress problem. usually anxiety problems cause insomnia, and if you combat the anxiety then you probably won't need something to help you sleep. if you still need something after taking ativan, then yes I agree with the other poster that low dose remeron works very well- even 7.5 mg at night.
best of luck- judy
