I am weaning off clonazepam. Have been taking prescribed for over 14 years. Max dose was 6 mg. I weaned to 2.5 mg since 2006. 2/2012 started wean to 1 mg as of mid April.
I take Trazodone 150 mg for sleep. Not working.
I am having withdrawal-nausea, irritability, lower GI distress, tremors, ringing in ears, headache (intermittent), hypersensitivity to sound, light, tactile.
I am determined to be clonazepam-free. Was on it initially because of anx/panic attacks. Enviornmental triggers now gone. So, time to be free of med.
I take Viibry 10 mg for depression. A higher dose of this med makes me hyper. I am doing ok with it.
My question: what med can I take to help with sleep? A tricyclic? Or just tough it out?
Thanks for your input. Rain
