Anxiety Support Group

I had a long period that i did not sleep...i was very ill...could not eat either...a doctor prescribed me trazodone and it works very well for sleep...there are often that i sleep without the med....I hear that benzos are highly additive so I use mine extremely careful...just once in awhile...have you tried natural remedys for sleep..? there are a few such as melatonin

Thats what I take and have not had any problems. I've been taking it almost everyday for about 7 months. I am not cutting down as my anxiety has gotten a little better.

Tart cherry juice has melaltonin ands helps with sleep

I have insomnia really bad, finally last Dec my doctor put me on point 5 mg of klonopin, I take one before going to bed. I don't care how addicting it is I can finally sleep, my doctor said I could take one during the day also but one at night seems to work well, this drug last 12 hours in your body unlike other ones. I haven't noticed any side effects, I have tiredness but I've had that for years so I just do the best I can and now that I'm retired it doesn't matter to me.

thank you all for the feedback, i am a chronic insomniac myself and recently i sleep ok but by schedule is really bad i sleep at dawn and wake up at lunch time so i try to change it , i was prescribed klonopin for anxiety but after i read about the dangers of benzos i only take it as needed instead of the daily dosage,and something else i read is that people don't dream on benzos? i had a dreamless knock off sleep
