Sorry if this question has already been asked and answered, but have you tried anything like Ambien or a low dose of Trazadone? I have taken both for insomnia and they have worked well for me in the short term.

I can't take benzos because I have a paradoxical reaction to them...they make me manic. I was on a huge dose of klonopin for 2 years and it wasn't until I met my current pdoc that someone figured out it was making me more crazy than less.

Of course, my case is really strange and I can almost guarantee that this isn't the case for you.

I went through a bad period of withdrawal after I discontinued the klonopin. It was more physical than psychological and very uncomforable. I have no interest in getting into a debate with others as to whether it's addictive or not, so I'll leave it at that.

I know people who have been a low dose of benzos for life and it has helped them to function much more effectively.

Best of luck,

Girl
