I have severe GAD, panic and insomnia. When I take clonazepam, I sleep though the night, but I awaken feeling anxious and unrested. I also experience chronic pain, perhaps due to fibromyalgia. Could all this be because the benzo is preventing stage 3/4 (deep, restorative) sleep? I have recently been on Zyprexa, but it made me feel very ill, almost as if I had been poisoned (large bags under my eyes and terrible flu-like symptoms). I'm feeling really desperate and suicidal as more and more doors slam shut in my face. Do I go back on the clonazepam (shallow sleep) or continue with Zyprexa (flu)? I'm lost in the land of meds. Peace to all my fellow-sufferers...may the sweet rains of autumn wash your tears away.
