Boy, I feel your pain. Yeah, euthanasia ain’t a bad thought at times. Lol. I’ve been taking meds for sleep for twenty years- primarily baclofen and temazapam and try as I may, cannot wean from them. My life has been miserable trying to get off them. I thought the benzo would be the hardest but the baclofen is worse in my case. It took years to finallyfind a great doc to get me off one benzo but we have since moved and I’m with a new guy. He seems insensitive to the fact that I’m really struggling. I’m 75 and have always been a poor sleeper but I should never, NEVER, have been convinced to take them. My fault for not doing the research. I just want you to know you’re not alone in this endeavor.

I feel the same. There are days when I feel like I am dying than others that are not so bad. I am on 3.3 mg daily and tapering very slowly. I’m 78 and not sure I can do this. My doc is great but can’t take away the brutality of getting off valium. I wish all of you luck.
