Hi, Jitterbug!
I am new too. So sorry to hear about your grief and withdrawal. Sounds like it has been a rough road for you as of late. I deal with a lot of anxiety and OCD. – ( hi, Exhausted Michele- sounds like we have some things in common). I have to take clonazapan at night to help with anxiety but since I have been taking it for years I have built up a resistance to a lot of it. But if I don't take it -wows- I can tell!
Yeah, Xanax is what got me so sick in the first place. I had the same problem with it as you, I built up a resistance to it and pretty soon I had to up my dose too much. I had to get off, but I did it wrong and cold turkeyed. It made me really sick for about a year. I went without any sleep for 2 weeks straight at one point, and after that I was only getting maybe 1-3 hrs/night. I eventually started sleeping better, but it took a long time. My nervous system is still extremely sensitive, and I've been off for three years.
