I came of Lorazepam after 9 years at 3mg for sleep. After coming off nothing allowed me to sleep. I was advised through friends to try tea, melatonin and CBD. If only it were that easy!! After 1 year of literally 1-3 hours of sleep at night and my husband moving to the spare bedroom so he did not interrupt the little sleep I was getting, I admitted myself to a 30 day program for med review and counseling. During my stay I was put on 3 different meds plus melatonin and magnesium. Although I miss the almost immediate gratification of my 3mg of Ativan, I am slowly forcing myself to take the prescription nighttime drugs and going to bed an hour after taking. I am now getting 8-9 hours of sleep but with help of prescriptions. My Doctors swear this is better than continuing benzos. I struggle everyday like an alcoholic wanting to find a Dr. to give me my benzos, but the hell I have put my family through, I refuse to give up trying.
