In d past 18 months I have been on Ambien5-10mg xanax .5mg clonazepam1-5mg diazepam. 5-10mg. I was poisoned with heavy metal probably from water overseas. Didn't found out until 14 months later. I did Ambien & xanax upto last October. Switched to clonazepam & diazepam and Ambien just in case. I just completed detox for d heavy metal. D 3 drugs together gives me less than 2 hrs sleep. So I stopped all except diazepam. My biggest symptoms is lack of sleep which is driving me crazy. Can any one give me suggestions.
Try Zopiclone 7.5mg. That's if you can get hold of them.
Drs now very reluctant to prescribe them.
They mostly work for me.
Did you tapper them or just ct? If you CTd then I suggest tapering over a few months. Try some melatonin and magtein. Magtein is such a great sleep aid and it doesn’t give you loose stools like most magnesium products. I take a magtein every night along with my celexa.
You could ask your GP to try low dose Amitriptyline or Mirtazapine. These can improve your sleep dramatically and if taken as needed rather than every night will be easier to stop if you need to rather than the withdrawls typical from benzodiazepines.
