Tortuous weaning off valium

Thank you so much for your helpful feedback. Sadly I was on lorazepam as well as amitriptyline with only the former offfering sleep for a little more than a week. I stayed with amitriptyline for over year before giving up on it. I tried ambien and still have some though they give me about 90 minutes sleep. I develop a tolerance to meds so darn quickly. Very depressing. Yes, I’m just biting the bullet. I want off of benzos, PERIOD. My hope is somewhere down the line my brain will reignite the brain receptors and natural sleep will eventually return. I hate being a slave to benzos. Very happy to hear you’re sleeping despite your earlier setbacks.

Sorry the lorazepam and amitriptyline did not work. You say you hate being a slave to benzos.....not sure if you mean because of your struggles to get off them?? Because I will gladly be a slave to lorazepam because it saved me and lets me live a normal life with good sleep and no anxiety.
