I can't pinpoint why it's hard for me to fall asleep, or to stay asleep for more than 3 hours at a stretch. My body is extremely exhausted at bedtime, because I'm a college student and my days are pretty busy. I keep a regular sleep schedule: bed between 10-11.30pm, and wake up between 6-7.30pm. Recently however, I struggle to transition to sleep no matter how tired I am. It probably has more to do with restlessness than intrusive thoughts. |
Sounds like you are doing all you can to try and get through this. And no I have never gone through long term benzo withdrawl, I have personally never known a good doctor here (not in the US) to prescribe a daily benzo dose as an outpaitent. Just too dangerous by the standards of the private health system. The suggestion of teas was all I could think of to try and help.
I am appalled at the amount of people that have to go through benzo withdrawl, and I really feel for the patients. I hope you can get through this with your brain and health still in tact.
