[QUOTE="Loki, post: 83971, member: 2206"] I have had issues with sleeping for over 15 years. I have been on everything you can think of from Lunesta, Ambien to every form of Benzo's. For the last 12 years or so I have been consistently on a benzo. I was most recently switched to Alprazolam and because of the short half life I was experiencing micro withdrawals. After reading about the long term negative effects I finally decided to get off sleep meds for good. I switched from Alprazolam (short half life) to Diazepam (long half life) and have been on a weekly tapering schedule. I started with 20MG and reduced 2MG per week. I am currently taking 1.25MG per night. Tuesday I drop to 0... Does anybody have any experience, advice on what if anything I should do Tuesday night? Is there something I can take to kick start my body back to a normal state and not in a state of dependency? Very nervous about tomorrow night! I am sure the 1.25 is doing nothing for me except feeding the dependency... Let me know.... Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
