Have you tried Ambien or Lunesta Phillipa? When I took benzos I still needed a sleep aid. As someone else suggested, you could try trazodone (which has antidepressant effects as well as being an effective sleep aid), or Remeron, trimipramine etc?
You are not to blame for taking the meds doctors told you to take - as you said, you refused to take the dose as high as they wanted you to in any case.
I was fully informed about the addictive nature of benzos before I started taking them, it is my fault I became addicted, but you were not aware of this problem when you first took them on the advice of your doctor Phillipa. It is *not* your fault that you are in this situation for taking drugs as the doctor prescribed. It's a shame on the medical profession that they are not doing more to help you.
>I think of xanax . I'm not even dressed yet and feel like s*it. I want to be normal and normal people don't get up at ll am spaced out and starting 2.5mg of prozac feel worse. Also regulating thyroid. What is wrong with me and how to get over fear of anxiety that wakes me up. The day is over I've done nothing. I'm failing. Love Phillipa
