I've never heard or lactamil, so I have no advice. I've also been prescribed ATIVAN, which is a "downer" if you please. It's an anti-anxiety agent, and helps calm you down, whether down or up. It can help you sleep, as well, which is what I take it for. I would encourage you to ask your psychiatrist for a med that will help you sleep - I will help calm you down and allow you to get the rest that you need. I have been using ATIVAN on and off for the last few months. It has been a lifesaver. As your doctors will tell you, you must be careful with it because it can be addictive in higher doses. I'm on a very low dose, and am very careful with it - and it has been very helpful. Love, Alicia.
