In reply to insomnia after Klonipin (clonazepam) taper off, posted by lois on September 2, 2015, at 7:53:41
Just is the process of tapering off valium. Ouch. I was taking it regularly at a low dose since January to help after discontinuing antidepressants.
I've been tapering for over a month. Currently I'm taking some once or twice a week. I have to bite the bullet and get off it entirely, but the insomnia is so bad, it is proving very difficult. I will go entire nights without sleeping and have to go to work the next day. I don't know how much is rebound or chronic insomnia. I will see a sleep CBT expert next week to help deal with the insomnia.
Medication is ineffective for me now. I've tried more than most. So I want to see if I can manage without medication...what a struggle.
