As for Klonepin (clonazepam) you should try dosing down if you can, and perhaps just take it a bedtime. It is the longest acting in the body in that class of drugs. You didn't say the dosage you are taking. If it is just 2 mg a day, that's a pretty low dose, I would not worry about long term effects. I've been on it for several years now. Temazepam is shorter acting, perhaps your doctor could get you off of that and adjust upwards your clonazepam dose. I always tout an antihistamine That Costco sells as "Sleep Aid". Very inexpensive, pretty effective. It is doxylamine succinate. Try half a tablet and see if that is too strong for you. You would know if you have hangover like effects in the AM when you wake up. At any rate, I'm no doctor, talk these options over with your doctor and try antihistamine meds if any of the benzos are too worrisome for you.

Thank you so much for your response . I take .75 to 1mg , to control anxiety . I won’t let myself take anymore then that , so I push thru the anxiety . It does not make me tired . I just lowered my Tempezpan to 22.5 . I am so anxious with my husband’s cancer . I know that’s not an excuse . My zolloff used to help me and I am
not in the position to change ssri and deal with side effects . Thank you for your suggestion . I greatly appreciate that .

I also have tried antihistamines , I was so hung over and could not function .😢I don’t want to be on a sleeping Benzo and I wish the trazodone still worked for me .
