Josh, a 21-year-old pharmacy student, came to the local pharmacy last week with a seven-day prescription for diazepam 10mg tablets, one to be taken at night. The drug was prescribed to him by his physician because around five weeks ago Josh started suffering from insomnia. Although he is typically supposed to wake up at 7:00am to attend his lectures, at 4:00am he is already fully awake. He does not find it difficult to fall asleep, nor does he wake up too frequently during the night. During the day, he feels very tired, anxious and fearful. It is now three days since the pharmacist dispensed his prescription and Josh has returned to the pharmacist because he claims he is still not able to sleep properly.
