laurine7, I'm back after many many months away. I finished my taper off Lorazepam 6mg with 3mg Clonazepam and finally. No wonder I suffered so and kept saying I feel like I am still withdrawing from the Lorazepam, I was given .50mg instead of 3mg. Started my taper in June of 2021, finished March of 2022. I feel like I am still in withdrawal. Sleep 3 hours a night, which started in June of 2021 when I stopped the Lorazepam. I believe it's because Lorazepam is also prescribe for insomnia, I was prescribed Lorazepam for Restless Leg Syndrome. I have found out so many mistakes make by my care givers, impossible to imagine. You can get malpractice suits against a Doctor, BUT, IT HAS TO BE DONE EARLY, I didn't know until way later. You CANNOT sue the manufacturer if it's a generic prescription. I am still constantly researching almost 3 years now. I have tried so many prescriptions for RLS, nothing has worked. They just started me on Codeine, not good, but I'm desperate for sleep. Should the codeine not work, My neurologist said we are going to try Methadone. That scares me! I happy to be back with MAYO CONNECT.

I found that magnesium helps me with sleep. It's such a difficult slog to get off of the benzos!
