How to ween off Klonopin (or any Benzodiazapeme)

Great advice. My doctor who wasn't happy sleep doc prescribed this crap Klonopin suggested trying trazadone to help me sleep. I stopped klonopin cold turkey, which is never good, but it was causing issues while on it so either way I was screwed. The trazadone (which is a sleep med) didn't help as the instant withdrawal of klonopin caused constant insomnia for a few weeks before relief from insomnia started to get better. This medication should never be prescribed in my opinion but some folks swear by it. But once on it for any period of time, one becomes dependent, most just don't realize it. For that reason alone, it should never be given for longer than a couple of weeks, which is what the manufacturer says btw. Crazy.

I have been taking 1 mg for sleep almost 2,yesrs! It had not helped with sleep for the last 6-8 months. I have been struggling, and when i asked my doc for help she just kept adding craxy medications to the kolonopin at night which did nothing but make me feel worse! Then i asked her to help me get off of it and she said she did not have the knowledge in doing that!!! Crazy she is my psychiatrist !!! She should have never prescribed it and should have never let me stay on it for this long. I do not take any other meds, started tapering myself slowly doing ok i am now down to half mg, seeing a new doctor, however, i am still struggling with sleep, using cbd thc cbn gummies thst do not always work, afraid if other meds, do you have any suggestions of what i can do for sleeping??
