I missunderstood you. To answer you, I seen so many people using benzo's that possibly don't need them. After 3-4 years without clonipin this week I asked the doc to write me 10 1mg tabs so I'm not against benzo's. I'm in a very bad way and need help this week. For sleep wich I have life long difficulties with, nightmares, sleepwalking and constant waking. Sleep doesn't come natureal to me. I have had great success with atarax and melitonin and I feel most people just dissmiss atarax. I can't spell it its a antihistamine used for anxiety. It is marginally helpful for anxiety for me but helpful none the less. When I'm out of control with anxiety it does help. Now if I'm sleepwalking or having terrible nightmares, the kind that stay with you the next day leaving tired and fearful, well I perfer to use clonipin or restiril, but for the constant waking all night long I wish you guys would give it a try. If you hold back on the benzo's for the very hard times and use melitonin and atarax for when things aren't as bad tolerance can be avoided. If you only ask your doc for 10-15 benzo's each month it shows a responcable approach to your use of these meds.
