I took 1 mg of Klonopin (similar to Ativan) for sleep for almost 20 years and never had to up the dose. Eventually no doctor would prescribe it and sent me to a psychiatrist who had me do a very slow taper off. The insomnia was awful - awake all night some nights. I tried antihistamines and Remeron, which did not work. Gummies CBD/THC worked well and finally after 6 weeks off of the Klonopin (9 month taper) I am sleeping without anything but 7.5mg of Remeron. I don't even know if that is helping so I will eventually try stopping it to see if I am still sleeping. I have had 10 sessions of acupuncture. It takes time for our central nervous system to adjust because we are dependent on the drug. It also takes patience in the process. This is not easy when we are irritable, jittery, and not sleeping.
