I can't offer advice, but I understand your weird dreams and waking up constantly. Recently I was taking oxycodone and Benadryl after an operation. I figured it would not be a good idea to continue klonopin with the other drugs.(only 1.0-1.5 mg daily). I didn't check with either dr. to see if this was a good idea. I could not sleep any longer than 2 hour stretches, and I woke up in a sweat each time after the strangest dreams. I am not sure which side effects to attribute to the oxycodone, but it amazed me that I couldn't sleep with a painkiller and the Benadryl. As soon as I could, I got off of that regiment and back to the klonopin. Now my sleep is pretty regular, but I am still not back to solid sleep after two weeks. Strange!
My thoughts are that even in small amounts, benzos are very addictive. This scares me because as a bp person I unfortunately suffer from the higher possibility of addictions. Good luck with the tapering down. I hope it gets easier for you. Keep us posted.
