Health anxiety, general unwell feeling

I totally understand. I suffer from anxiety , depression and insomnia . I am under extreme stress, due to my husband’s cancer diagnosis. I admire you to have the courage to change meds . I am stuck and fear everything . I don’t abuse drugs either . I do take benzo’s for the past two years . I am ashamed and very scared . I have a therapist . My anxiety is also heightened by Covid . What Benzos helped you ? I can’t sleep at all without a sleeping pill . I know that’s terrible . I am sorry for the rant too.

I have been taking generic Xanax .5 mg for 5+ years and generic Halcion for sleep .25 mg. Both are benzos. My doctor prescribed clonazepam for me a few years ago, but it did not provide the same help as the Xanax and was not any better for my body, so he moved me back to the original. I have taken this combo for sometime now without any negative affects. I am suffering a little bit of short-term memory loss, but I’m not yet putting my keys in the refrigerator! I’m chalking that up to my age and heredity. Good luck to you and I hope you find the answers you need. I am researching medications and help for this every day. Nothing new has surfaced, but this group has been very helpful.

You have nothing to be ashamed about. Thank you for replying. The benzo that's helped me is clonazepam. Its a longer lasting one. I'm sorry you're dealing with all of that.
