I was given medication, 3, to be exact. One anti depressant, daytime anxiety and sleeping pills. I got of the first 2 and now need to wean off sleeping pills. Anyone have experience with this scenario? Need some encouragement. With the lack of sleep on top of anxiety, it’s a vicious circle.

It’s normal and natural to feel scared! You might find this other forum topic relevant: Insomnia now for almost two months and this YouTube video might be helpful, too: Why you just can’t seem to get off the sleeping pills or supplements when you have insomnia.

You definitely can sleep without the medication, Elmtree57! Having a clear plan in place for eliminating the meds (while also implementing techniques that help create good conditions for sleep) is often a good way forward and might be worth discussing with your doctor.
