    Thanks for the replies guys!

    I'm on Apo-Zopiclone.

    I have tried to wean myself off of them…but I found that there's too much stress at my work. When I tried lowering the dose I didn't sleep for days – it got so bad that I was crying at work for no reason because I wasn't getting even the three hours a night I at least get + I couldn't concentrate on my assignments, and therefore wasn't getting any work done.

    I think I'll just have to quit my job, and then maybe I can slowly reduce the amount of the pill each night. That way I don't have to worry about going into work and having so many people counting on me. It seems like this is my only option.

    I am going to talk to my CBT on Tuesday. But I find that most doctors don't like their patients to leave their jobs. It's a big concern for them. But I really think it's the only way I can get better.

    Also forgot to mention – I can usually sleep a full 10 hours each night of the weekend. This is still while on the sleeping pill though (if I don't take a pill I don't sleep at all). But it's weird that I can sleep for so long on the weekends, but during the weekdays I get max 3 hours.
