Sleep Anxiety Medication
How do I get to sleep without medication?
Hello, I have been concerned a lot lately about my sleeping. I have struggled with extreme anxiety since the age of 16, and
shortly after I began struggling with sleeping. My first “episode” (that is what I like to call them) with insomnia happened when I was 17- I went almost a week without
sleeping. I started to become frantic.
When I was 18, my doctor put me on Xanax and a sleep aid. And for the first time in a year I was able to sleep great! I took the medicines only at night and only when I needed them.
College took a toll on me. I was working full-time and going to college full-time, so if I didn’t sleep at night- I knew it would be hell for me the next day. I started taking my sleeping medicine every night and have been doing so ever since.
I never take more than what I am suppose to, and it has worked out fine for me. But now I’m getting scared with all of the recent reports about sleep and anxiety medicine.
Does anyone have any advice? Please help!
Since you have taken the mdicine for a while, if you stop sudden, you may feel the different very abviously. For my suggestion, you can reduce the daily medicine step by step.
For example, the first 2 weeks, you do not take medicine once a week.
After that, the next 2 weeks, you try not to take medicine twice a week.
I would suggest you to drink some honey or have some herbal tea to substitue your medicine.
I hope by reducing your dose step by step, your body can then manage to adjust by itself.
For myself, I am doing some research and studies on Sleep Apnea,Insomnia,Snoring,OSA,Sleepless,Narcolepsy Topics, if you would like to get further information, plesae feel free to visit my blog at http://sleepapnea-insomnia.blogspot.com
