@berekann , you are wise not to increase these medications, they all come with a price. I’ve been reading stories here for years about people getting into trouble with benzodiazepines, sometimes it was the doctors pushing them to stop and other times it was the drug itself, I used to pray that I wouldn’t have to go through that, unfortunately I started feeling off at first and I thought it was due to the antidepressant I was starting on, some of it was but I felt something else was wrong and it took me some time to realize it was the Ativan. This is called hitting tolerance and I sure have been on them a long time, I always controlled my dose and I did benefit from cannabis gummies but I stopped them because they can interfere with the antidepressant, what a misery I find myself in.

@frouke thanks. I really do think it is the right decision for mei to stop taking these drugs. I don’t sleep as well as I know I would without anything. It will be a challenge, but I can do it, just like you can wean off Ativan eventually.
I’m going to start with trying CBD plus melatonin, tomorrow night, as I have no plans for the three days thereafter.
