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??

Benadryl. Over the counter allergy med that many people use for sleep. I take 1 or 2 capsules if I wake up much too early. I take Lunesta 2mg before bed. Because I am near 80 yrs old doctor won't allow 3 mg. There is also Tegretol. As a matter of fact, back in the late 90's soon after my psychosis, I was given Tegretol for sleep and Klonopin during the day. May have gotten dry mouth as a side effect, but that was all. Also, I took Trazodone for many years with usual initial side effects that went away.

My doctor is a Psychologist doctor trained pharmacy & is very knowledgeable with all the medicines. Maybe see if you can find someone in your area.
Good luck.
