I am trying to come off the damn thing which is supposed to be easy. But without it I can't sleep and if I do I am woken up almost immediately while dreaming.
Last night I must have been woken up at least a dozen times and the rest of the time I was awake.Are there any alternatives to help me sleep and I mean except benzos and hypnotic drugs?
I have tried both of them; with benzos I get used to them very quickly and I have too keep increasing the dose and with the hypnotic medications I fall asleep initially but I remain aware that I am asleep which is a bizarre feeling and after a while I just wake up and can’t go back to asleep.The program I saw was about the use of antipsychotic medication on people with dementia and it purported to make them worse and having irreversible effects of the brain which is scary to say the least.
