Hi, I too suffer from insomnia and recently stopped taking ambien because it wasn’t working anymore. I also suffer to some degree depression and anxiety. I recently had to have an a emergency pacemaker and defibrillator implanted. While in the hospital, the doctors took me off of sertraline for depression and seroquel for anxiety and told me to never take them again as they were affecting my heart which has several problems. When I got home, I asked my regular M.D. for an extra clonazapam bringing me up to 3 - 1 mg. Tablets a day. It seems to alleviate the anxiety and helps with my sleep. Not all M.D.s will give you the benzos (Clonazapam is only one of them) as they can be addicting although I have never had that problem. Doctors these days want to put you on all the new psychological drugs many of which cause other physical problems like with my heart but I think the old class of benzos work best for me. I think you should ask your doctor to start you on 1 mg. Clonazapam taking the last one just before bedtime. If you live in a state where they’re legal, I think I would also try some of those marijuana gummies that other people on this site have spoken about. I used to smoke it when I was younger and I always thought it did wonders for depression and also helped with sleep. I only stopped smoking it because I have asthma and haven’t gotten around to trying the gummies yet.

Hi, I’m off the benzos but on even higher dosage of ambien by now. I never managed to come off of them. I’m going to talk to a doctor about it later this week because I don’t know what to do. I’ll update here if I get any info of use… Hang in there everyone.
