I'm so sorry, first of all, but did the benzos cause the problem - or being taken off them? I took Klonopin for many years and it was only at bedtime and I never increased my dose. It was like a wonder drug for me, by allowing me to sleep deeply and through the night without horrific night sweats and panic. Now that I have been "forced" to taper off it, I am back to insomnia and night sweats. Thankfully, I have learned to manage the panic part by meditating and reframing my sleep situation. I am hopeful I will, in time learn to sleep without a pill. I would hope there would be safer alternatives for you to manage your anxiety and depression. I really am sorry for your pain.
