Tortuous weaning off valium

I think whenever I watch a video of someone who overcame benzo withdrawal are are enjoying a renewed, clean cycle of sleep I become envious. I know it can be done. My doc says I’m the longest sleep resistant patient he’s ever seen and he agrees it’s possible to begin anew if I can pull this off. By being a slave to the benzo I only mean I hate having a pill controlling my life, other than heart medication, etc. what happens when you develop a tolerance to the medication you’re on? Do you just continue to go from pill to pill? So you see, I’ve done this for so damn long I finally had to draw the line. I’m only talking about myself, not being critical of others. To get an idea of where I’m suddenly getting the nerve to do this, YouTube sleep and insomnia by Angela peacock. Hope you have a great day.

Hello, I don't feel like taking an anxiety/sleep med daily is controlling my life. Just the opposite in fact. It's helping my life. If one day the strength I take is not enough, I can up the Amitriptyline dose and possibly the lorazepam a tad, if need be. My doctor agrees I have to take this for the rest of my life and will adjust dosage if need be. I've only taken them both for 2 years now and I'm 64 years old. So I don't have to worry about benzo withdrawal unless they quit making it. And then my doctor would give me another benzo to replace it. Your situation/body is different and I pray you have success in your withdrawal process and finding another solution to get some sleep.
